SUMMER OF SALVATION -1: The Deliverance


the day stood still
in a far away cemetery   
on that summer noon 
sky was overcast with gloom 
and wind heavy with hope
he wondered 
will the sun shine before it rains
what he sought defied logic
but then what was so logical between them
everything that bunched them together was ill-logical
they were two meandering souls
who somehow found a common script of joy
hidden in the pages of destiny
and there could have been no better place
then this 
to tie them to a common thread 

he looked at the sky 
it was getting darker sooner than he expected
but he was ready to wait till eternity 
on feet of his belief
reassuring himself that miracles happen
only if you believe in them 
time lingered on like a pachyderm 
slowly and steadily 
bearing his weight upon him 
then it began to rain
which soaked him to the bones 
but he realized that his sprit was still dry
resting on a epitaph

he knelt down at the foot of their shrine
and closed his eyes
it was bright and sunny within
no clouds, no rain, no gloom
his faith had been rewarded with deliverance 
was this not what he has waited for
she stood with him- within
smiling, laughing 
radiating with spontaneous energy 
her hair dancing with joy in the wind
her eyes iridescent with bliss
she hugged him
and he felt her percolating inside
he opened his eyes
the sun was smiling at him
