It is pouring heavily, the first rain. The smell from parched earth and I feel like eating it. Then I smile, to myself and say silently “that’s like a kid” and smile again, more at the thought of my childhood than the idea of eating earth. I wait under the shed and look in to the darkness around and extend my hand to feel the invisible rain through my skin. I feel the droplets hitting me at my palm and arm. They are cold and giving a pleasing sensation to my skin. I bring my hand back close to my eyes and in the intermittent lightening flashes see the tiny sparkles on my palm and arm. Cold Winds touching my face and moving my hair. It’s the sensation of drops on my skin which has caused them to rise. Another lightening flash and I look at these hairs again.
I remember when I was a child they used to be golden in colour, now they have turned black.
Just like my heart.
From golden to black, from gold to coal, and I hardly noticed it. That’s like most of us.

ReplyDeleteyes .. exactly ! bt not peoples heart :)
ReplyDeleteitz all about perspective... change the view and even coal can be worthier than the gold or diamond .... every thing has itz own worth .. a diamond may be worthless if u change the way u think .. itzz about how u look at it or cherish it .. itzz just a mind game la :P

ReplyDeletei explain it again ... perspective .... the reason i live for is me .. even if i do some thing good or some thing bad ... i do it becos i like doing it ehich i do it for me ... so the change comes along with wat i like or should be ... no individual here lives for someone else ... ;)
