Memory from a hazy morning

The rain pittered pattered the whole night long on the asbestos roof above
While the family slept safely oblivious to the force of nature outside,
The backyard pond swelled up like a fertile woman
Whose womb has been sown with the seed of a resurgent tomorrow,
Frogs croak merrily sitting on the leaves of lilies waiting for the heaven to open up and pour herself down yet once more



With the hazy light of the morning the children slowly wake up to the story of nature’s ravage of yester night
Slowly they come out of the house with eager faces to see the aftermath
But what an aftermath that meets their eye!
The ‘ravages’ of nature has created such a scenic beauty outside
With the dry hot parched earth having quenched its thirst…
With the sweet smell of moist earth titillating the nostrils…
With the fresh and cool breeze caressing the skin softly…
With the myriad voices of nature adding a beautiful symphony to the riots of scenic beauty…
With horizon dark and not so menacing promising of more grace from heaven..
Comes the reassuring voice of mother from inside the house…
“It seems it’s going to rain the whole day… you kids need to stay back at home from school today…

Pure bliss and ecstasy…
