THE DEW DROP

THE DEW DROP


The winter night was cold and chilling
Birds were huddled in nests
Beasts were curled up in their caves
Smaller ones hid in their burrows
Children were in their thick quilts
Each one had its own blanket,
To fight the cold night
A losing battle though.
All were shivering
The night was getting darker and darker
Making the blankets thinner and thinner
Soon it would be unbearable
Soon the chill would stop all shiver
Soon it would take away the life from under every blanket
Yet the war was going on, shivering was every soul
During those painful moments,
Descended something from the heavens
A drop of dew was born
With it, descended a colorless blanket,
On the shivering world of life.
Soon faded the shivers and came a cozy comfort
The dew drop had brought back life to every life
Then appeared first ray in the east
The sun had started its daily journey
The sun had come to conquer the night
With it was coming a new day
Full of warmth, hope and life
World was filled with the morning glow.
During those moments of new life
Silently vanished the Dew Drop
It had served its purpose.
It lived to protect the life and went away silently,
When it was no more needed.
What a magnificent life, lived the tiny Dew Drop.
In the day full of hope and life,
I started to meet my beloved.
Searched her everywhere but she would not appear
Tired and exhausted, I found shelter under a tree
Her absence was becoming unbearable
In those crawling moments,
In the corner of my dry eye, a Dew Drop was born
And I felt lighter, felt her, felt her fragrance, felt life again
Suddenly from behind a distant tree
There appeared a flutter of pink cloth
And appeared my beloved
With her large beautiful eyes,
Smilingly she moved towards me.
Life in its most beautiful manifestation,
Was moving towards me, was mine.
I rose and approached her
And cuddled her with all my strength
The strength of love, feelings and what was left within me.
During those beautiful moments,
Silently vanished the Dew Drop,
After living yet another magnificent life.
