And it rained

I heard a laughter today

Loud, clear, ringing

Cutting through the air i breathe

It did not mock me as i thought it would

For my unearthly insides are marred with guilt

My dark side may be more of grey

If it pours for a while, the sky would be clear

What a shame, i love this grey so often

But only because it rains

Sitting by the side of a half blind sparrow

sheltering himself from the pour

It sat in quiet solitude

At envious peace with himself

Allowing me a little space

For which i was grateful

I tried to hold the string of water

And ended up with empty wet fist

The sparrow didn't move

Pensive and content

The earth was laughing loud

Washed from brown to a happy green

And its spirit seemed to be telling me

Be patient... wait

If there is a burning sun, there will always be rains

You cant do without either

That feeling, i am sure you feel it often too

When you are away from all that is near you

When you ponder about who you are

and why are you here

Were you born to somebody's child, sibling, friend, spouse

employee, relative, enemy

or were you born for yourself

or for this tiny microscopic world

Can you listen to the voice that calls you

from afar

Drowned in the clatter of love, hate and war

I can when it rains

When at some blessed moments

I become a nobody's nobody

And then seeps in a foreign sun

And my grey turns a shade light

Live my friend, even if its for a day

To make an existence possible.
