Alas..

13^th march’12

After months did the thunder strike. After months is the wait coming to an end. I have waited patiently for this day to come. For months I waited, getting strangled at the hands of the human kind while they danced around the bonfire as the flames leapt to engulf my resources and warming themselves with the heat of my agony. But i waited patiently. Sometimes I had to shake the off the anger but I am the mother filled with love and affection for my children, feeding them even if the bit my bosom. But now i had waited long enough and had waited for someone to put out the flames, for a sprinkle to put out the smouldering fire in my heart.

And today after months of yearning I heard the thunder. The sound was like the music of the shankh of Sri Krishna to put an end of my yearning.  I looked up at the sky, my eyes filled with hopes and prayer and there came the tiniest drop of drain. The wait was such that i felt it took ages to fall upon my withering body. But as that drop of vile fell on me, resurrecting my withered old body. I soaked in the drop in my deepest recesses, waiting for it to touch my soul. In a moments time it was raining. My tears of joy overflowed, amalgamating themselves in the rain. The agony was lost. I don’t know what followed next as the rain washed me.

The next i saw were my blossoming flowers, my sprouting buds, the fresh breeze n the fragrance of myself which i had lost. I lived again.

The spring  is here. The time for Resurrection, the time for the old to disseminate and give birth to the new.  The cycle of energy is evident in the environment as to how the life which was once vibrant is now soulless and now lies on the ground to become a part of the Mother Earth, from where it was born.  The cycle is now almost complete, but this is not the end. This is more of a long wave than a cycle. The crest n the trough, n now the rising up of the curve for another crest.But the rise wont be smooth, it has to undergo a churning and a series of experiences when it will finally be filled with the energy to gain a new vibrancy. The seasons are so much like the business cycles  in the economy, where the recession, is followed by the recovery and the boom, again starts the downfall recession, n then comes the depression. But the story, my dear, doesn't end here, it's again followed by the period of the recovery to boom, the spring of the economy, filled with colors and vibrancy. There in it lies the story of  our lives.
