Let there be light

The heat was relentless as if it was out of spite

She was scorched and blinded by the blazing white

One sided and mismatched as it gets with a fight

Until he showed up to protect her and punched above his weight 

 

Blocking and shading the hapless earth from her summer plight

Burnt and scorched, yet he never let her out of his sight

 

Sunset behind Tidal Park

Slim were his chances against the blazing Sun's might

He grew as dark and thick as he could and fought valiantly until twilight

Even as the damsel earth looked up with gratitude to thank the dark cloudy knight   

A spent and frustrated, Sun sighed a tired goodnight

 

The battle is not over and the Sun will be back tomorrow with a bigger bite

But the cloud will reminisce the day he had the last laugh and won the fight

 A day when a tired Sun was ready to switch off for the night,

The gutsy cloud taunted him with a roar, ‘Let there be light’

    Beautiful rendering for the dark clouds. How often do we take things for granted and forget the big roles played by many many unappreciated natural phenomena .Loved your imagination behind it. Amazing shot.

Will of your heart

I clicked this photo of a flower in my balcony garden. While we whine and complain about the difficulties of life, this flower was an inspiration in fighting the odds. Rising from a dirty mud-filled pot to become such a beautiful bloom is a story worth being told Mighty did I feel looking down from the perch Until an unseen threat left me in the lurch; Scared and scarred, of the impending doom Down on my knees,  sulking in the gloom; Humbled as I was, pushed to the dust As the eyes locked on earthy roots covered in dirt; Out came a stem bowed and bent Weight of its bloom seemingly adding to its torment; Pretty in pink, displaying strength in fragility A lesson so powerful, about thriving in adversity; It matters not, how often you fall or how bad you start All that counts is how tall you rise with the will of your heart ;

United States of America

They are the leaders who claim to love democracy But sometimes their actions would put to shame, a crazy They believe that might is right And that bullying smaller nations is their birthright They considered Saddam an evil Yet they created Osama, to play the devil Sometimes they bite more than what they could chew And that’s what happened when the devil gave his due The attack on WTO was a sickening horror But it was a shame to market it for the war against terror They crossed the seas and attacked other cities In the name of ending terrorist atrocities Uncle Sam has nose so long, that he likes to poke Even as the world new that WMD was nothing but a joke Yet they occupied other man’s soil For reasons as real as minerals and oil The world was helpless as they split the mighty Soviet The fear of which had shut everyone quiet They destroyed a nation to avenge Pearl Harbour and built themselves by outsourcing jobs for cheap labour They have landed everywhere except the Sun And they always
