The chirping of birds on the roof
The bright rays of the sun
The new leaves of the spring
Fills my heart with joy and fun.
The sweet voice of the Koel
The quick moves of the squirrel
The blue wings of the peacock,
I’m amused to see the parrots quarrel.
Soon it will be summer
The scorching heat with all its fury
Will leave the earth dry and parched
As I watch from my window,soulfully.
The clouds will then engulf the sky
Causing raindrops to fall
I’ll then play in puddles ‘n pools
And dance in the rain till nightfall
So fixed is the cycle of seasons
Then why not , the flight of life
Why not can I see my future?
Why not can I predict my life?
As the clouds get darker ‘n darker
And lightning strikes the sky
I am afraid…… suddenly
And for no reason I’m about to cry.
The very clouds that I was enjoying,
The very rain that provoked me to dance,
Scare me now to no respite,
To soothe me now,there is no chance.
But, as I stand alone
Terrified in the middle of the road,
An arm falls on my shoulders,
And I know that I’m not alone.
I turn back and look up
And meet my father’s gaze
Of course he was right behind ,watching me,
All the while , I was struggling through the maze.
He takes me into his arms
And fondles me with care
I tightly clutch his fingers , we walk towards home,
And all my fears instantly disappear.
