BELIEVER.. Moitreyee Raju

 

Solitary she lay looking at her boy...
With eyes full of scorn, her insides torn,
the mind in complete disarray;
The tempest within
is about to be one
with the tempest without...!
The clattering window panes
and her shattering thoughts
are now walking hand in hand
in the land of chaos...
"Oh why did you come?
You're a body in a crippled frame
A someone whom no one wants to claim"
The wind is lashing
And her thoughts gashing
Creating wounds deep in the core
And, there is none to behold;
"What should i do with you?
My life has lost its perfect hue...
But how can I abandon you?"
The wind makes way for clouds to gather
Deep dark and rainy....
They surround her eyes
in a cloudy shroud
waiting to untether;
And then...
the eternal floodgates released with a thunderous applause
With eyes gleaming and voice screaming
She seemed to say,
"Such mirth? What's the cause?
Is my pain a mere trivial game?
I've been disowned by my very own
Making my boy their pawn
An innocent child is he...
unaware of his plight is he..."
Her heart swelled and her eyes welled
And when tears rolled
she made herself sold...
To the rainwater of seers.

As the sun shorn through the clouds
the voice of the ancient sage came aloud
"You are desolate...?
But am i not? yet forget to shine, i have not!
And hence does the moon and the stars;
And the lofty mountains and the vast river
Their only endeavor is to be a giver
Strength is believing
In the sanctity of giving!"

Awake from a deep slumber
She heard no sound of thunder
Instead a subtle tranquillity
That bore deep into her reality
She looked around and found...
the rain washed leaves, greener
The birds, chirpier
the sky even more bluer...

And at last...
Everything was crystal clear....!!!
