My Story, Ur Story, Our Story: A tale of Tree, Creeper and a Bird !!

Far away in the jungle there lived a beautiful green creeper,

Covered the bark and branch of an old tree like armor

Creeper had beautiful bright fruits on it

A hungry tired bird rested on the branch for a bit

The bird from mystery land eats the fruit

Takes the seed in its beak and flies away on a pursuit

It sits on a small charming plant to rest

The seed is heavy, so drops it and flies to the west

After many years, the old bird comes across a beautiful tree

Decides to sit on the branch strong and dandy

“I haven’t seen anything beautiful than this” the bird claimed

“oh sweet bird, did you forget us?” The tree blamed

“Long ago you had rested on my tiny shoulders,

In return you had gifted me this seed, and now we are lovers”

The beauty you see around me is from this wonderful creeper

She is my life and our bounding has grown deeper and deeper

We have been through many tough weather and seasons

We have grown together even though we argue on many reasons

She makes me look special and I provide her the support

We are best friend, thanks for the seed, which you did once transport !!

Listening to this the bird replies,

“Oh my child, I am a messenger in disguise

He had sealed your fate long ago

I just carry out the His orders, now you know !!

Let no rain, sun, wind separate you both

Let love, peace, sanity help your growth”

The bird plucked one fruit from the tree and said,

“Marriages are made in heaven, but here on earth you wed”

Note: To all who have found there creeper and tree. To all who are waiting for the bird. To all who have grown beautifully complementing each other and set an example !!

RAINY AFFAIRS…… !!

The rain drops falls on the green leaf. The leaf bends as the rain drop slides over it. The drop reaches the tip of the leaf. The sun shine reflects from the drop. The rain drop looks like a droplet of glittering gold. The leaf cannot bear it anymore. The drop slips down on the still water, bounces and then falls again creating many ripples. The dead yellow leaf floating on the still water now dances along with the ripple. The water becomes still again, the yellow leaf tired after dancing is floating. The leaf is about to recover, just then another drop of rain falls on the leaf. The show continues…..

A child playing with water. The stream of water fascinates him. He creates a paper boat with love. Set it on sail along the stream of water. The boat dances down the stream. The boy follows with the wide smile and jumping with joy, clapping hands. The boat collides with the rock and turns upside down. The smile fades. Just then, the frog lying lazily on the rock jump near the boat. The boat turns back and starts dancing down again. The smile returns. Mom calls the boy inside home. The boy runs away. The boat reaches pool, it tired and wet, dives to the bottom. The frog is back on the rock.

The clothes are hanging and swinging to the music of the wind. A woman runs to catch them before it rains again. One of the mischievous clothes jumps and fly’s away. The woman follows it. The clothe hides on the top of the bush. The woman reaches out to catch it. Just then the wind blows and the clothe escapes flying high. The frown on the face, she looks down. The clothe swings in the wind teasing the woman. The wind stops, the clothe floats down swinging from one end to another and falls on the feat of the woman. The smile returns.

A small girl with her yellow raincoat and pink umbrella swirls it splashing the water. She jumps on the puddle of water. The water escapes from the puddle and falls on the neighboring puddle. She giggles. The girl follows and jumps on the other puddle. The water escapes again. They play this catch me if you can until she reaches home. A woman talks to her and the girl is looking down at her shoes. The smile is gone. The woman returns inside house. The girl jumps on the nearby puddle, and both the water and girl giggle to glory.

White smoke is gushing out of the chimney from far. It reaches out meet the rainbow. The bird is curious fly’s towards it to watch it. Somewhere in the fields a peacock spreads her beautiful feather and makes a jig to compete with the rainbow. A flash of light and thunder. The dog runs to take shelter. He looks at me and wags his tail, curious to know why I was spreading my arms and enjoying the rain drops on my face and palm. The rain drops pierces through my face and my soul. I am neither in future nor in past. This is a magical moment, wherein the heaven comes to meet me. This is one of THE moments of my life time!!

U R Not Cinderella / Charming Prince…. !!

You are not Cinderella or charming prince on white horse,

just simple human being, not a brand to endorse.

Gold, Armani suites, bungalows, BMW’s is just a dream

The meaning of life is deeper, these are just the cream.

Outer Beauty is not a virtue, to be admired, it will fade out

Kindness, Compassion, Intelligence and humility, it’s all about.

You are not Cinderella or charming prince on white horse,

just simple human being, not a brand to endorse.

Fame, Wealth and Power will bring happiness for a while

Family, relationship, people will accompany you on a long mile.

Did you forget the days when meeting friends and relatives brought joy

Now responsibility, commitment and patience, why does it annoy?

You are not Cinderella or charming prince on white horse,

just simple human being, not a brand to endorse.

Those days, smell of wet soil brought smile

Today it’s the scent of money, is it worthwhile?

Those days, we cried and wept at broken toy

Today we weep at broken heart, family and home, oh boy !!

You are not Cinderella or charming prince on white horse,

just simple human being, not a brand to endorse.

Life is as complicated or simple as we try to make it

Think with a child like innocent mind and fix it.

Life is surely a costly gift but not delivered to you on a silver plate

How many time you get up, dust off and move on will seal your fate.

You are not Cinderella or charming prince on white horse,

just simple human being, not a brand to endorse.
