I pause,I watch my life rewind...
The swaying silhouettes put me at rest,
As mental tides find a newer crest...
Flashes of lightning liken a glimmer of hope,
As these clouds are drawn by an unseen rope...
A drop here,a drop there- and soon I'm drenched
In this august rain,and my thirst unquenched...
A thirst for knowledge-of the path I must tread,
Of unknown fate,and roads that I dread...
And as I seek refuge from this glistening visitor,
A kiss of droplets land with passionate fervour...
It seems routine now,that rain brings me peace,
And hope as lightning,to many does appease...
I fear not the untrod paths any more,
No trauma,no pain, no bodily sore...
This revered rain cleanses me whole,
Yet sets me on fire--body mind and soul...
A bath in fire, may it never be doused,
For it burns down the thickets where old memories are housed...
A new life,a new birth--from this one I depart,
I arise yet again-- and a new journey to start....
