Suddenly the black nimbus showed its agony in a flash of lightning.
The day otherwise shunned by all,
The passionate wind now blew...
I knew what this meant, for she was with me
I reclined pensive, wondering if God was willing to satiate me.
A look into her perspicuous eyes told me
That heaven had descended.
The trees overjoyed shed flowers on the wet ground beneath.
A moment of pre-eminence,
But counted on fortuitous circumstances.
Respite had at last reached me for sometime now…
In the form of a Goddess who had exterminated all my sorrows.
Though Alas! Can I be sure it’s the end of my pathetic days?
As I have for long known God’s ruthless ways…
In spite of the beautiful affinity
Why exists such dubious extremity?
So near… yet so far,
We walked along…
On that rainy evening,
When the paramount sun had gone…
