I haven't posted for the longest time, and I feel incomplete without giving a slight push to the amateur writer within me( I hope I'm not sounding pompous) . Anyway, so the reason is that I was on a holiday, a long overdue holiday and blogging wasn't a part of my vacation plan !
One thing I'm compelled to mention is, I had recently been to watch the much awaited Harry Potter flick, and was so surprised that most of the people in the theatre were adults ! I presume they must have been in my age group, who have followed the magical books through the ages, and for the simple sake of giving themselves a feeling of completeness, have to watch the movie. Nevertheless, I was still expecting lots of school children. *sigh* Sometimes I feel books have lost their charm somewhere in the sands of time...
This is a small poem I had penned down ages ago, when I was alone at home and the weather was at its best. Sipping a cuppa of ginger tea, the words had just flown, its nothing magnificent neither does it stick to the rhyme scheme, but its truly what I felt at that time...
Life seems like a painted picture,
On a dusky evening in the slight drizzle,
Bereft electricity, a dimly lit room,
I can sense an autumn in full bloom(pun intended),
Sitting at a perfect angle facing the dusty window sill,
Greeting the cool breeze,
Fresh ginger tea brewing inside a muddy pot,
A new zest for the life, the windy ginger aroma has brought,
On evenings such as these, although I'm alone,
My world feels complete, not forlorn,
Oh breeze, dear breeze, take me away with you,
Spreading my canopy over the earth just as proudly as you do..
The poem underlines how nature sometimes takes away all the pain, frustration, anger in a person's heart, providing the perfect healing touch. It sometimes assures us that there are still some beautiful things in this world and you seek them from nature if you can't find it within...
The last two lines are metaphorical, its my take on how a person wishes to have an influence/impact on the whole world and make his presence felt just like the wind.
Quoting Looney Tunes....
'That's all folks'
