Lost in the SandsThe sun slowly crept behind the horizon,and as it got darker it was much scarier. As if viscious eyes constantly on a prowl, there I stood all alone, lost in the sands. Just two days ago life was never the same, I was totally unaware of darkness that streches upto infinity. Unaware, that a habitat exists at 50 degrees centigrade. Unaware, one day I too will be made equal to dust. By now moon had crawled upto its zenith, The ferocious wind swept the sand helter-skelter. With every step, my heart sank a beat. Of hope and confidence, none was left. And dear nature it seemed was in no jovial mood, There was a rush of wind or was it a sandstorm. My feet did not have to await the orders from my brain, They just ran, a run for dear life!! For fame, love and power I didn't even care, For when death awaits life becomes major priority. My eyes, my ears, my body were full of dust. Nature,she didn't even spare my thoughts. Finally my poor feet could not bear my weight any more. It seemed my stay on planet earth was over... And suddenly lady luck smiled or was it nature's miracle The ferocious winds calmed down. The inspirational moon once again smiling bright. It all seemed like a prelaid plan, a nature's game. Challenging my existence, the human existence. As if a war cry against man made world of power. It was almost like a rendezvous with nature's worst. Though I still cannot understand nature. And at times cursed her for all this mess. But have certainly realised how crucial she is to you and me. Though she is every where, can be seen, touched and felt. Streches from our eyes right upto infinity. Yet cannot be caged nor can she be won! Cause she does not belong to you or me. As she dwells in hearts full of love and care. |
