Drizzle in the Desert....

DRIZZLE IN THE DESERT

The scorching sun simply bore down upon me,

With its red glaring rays, as hot as it could be.

Drenching me with sweat, taking away everything in me,

 Pushing me towards the ground, disregarding my head’s plea.

Not a shade in sight where I could rest for a while,

The bandits had left me with nothing, but for a pile.

A pile of sand, for every single thing they took from me,

There was no escaping my plight, as far as I could see.

The occasional thorny cactus, kept me for company,

And a great many bones, the destiny of many.

I walked and walked, each step filled with a weight,

As I slowly and humbly started accepting my fate.

One small peek towards the horizon, before I give up,

But what I saw next made my eyes suddenly lit up.

A small wave of dark clouds moving towards me,

Reigniting within me, a fire of hope, a hope I could see. 

The new found surge took me a bit further, Alas!

I could not walk anymore, my energy drained out at last.

With one last look at those hopeful clouds, my legs gave way,

And I fell down, mildly conscious of the happenings away.

I could see darkness around me, though it was day,

The heat reminded me of hell, I never thought of dying this way,

When  suddenly I felt a few drops on my neck, I could feel,

A sudden coolness, I turned with effort, almost ready to kneel.

The joy in my heart knew no bounds, as I felt each drop falling,

The feeling within me racing about me, feeling a calm, a calling,

Fast as sweet as nectar, it gave me a new light, a vision,

Never to give up and to go on as far as possible, became my mission.

Few drops was all it took to totally totalle my life,

Just as my love changed me, my plans and my whole life,

That drizzle in desert gave me a new found hope to live,

And for years I searched for that drizzle in my life, a way to live.

I realised this drizzle could be found in your love’s life,

It could be found in every heart, hot passionate, hot enough to melt ice,

In a baby’s smile, In a mother’s care, In a silent cove,

For that day, He had sent me not just a drizzle but something more….LOVE.
