Scribbling:
“Sitting by the
roof watching the evening drench itself in a little drizzling, waving through
strong winds after a rather hot summer day, appears to be similar to experience
of self. Of days when things go by like clock on the wall, for it keeps on
moving changing time, and prospects yet remaining un-noticed till the color of
sky shows any sign of change. For here the sky must be the background where our
thoughts inhabit and wander around, mostly in pieces but then in some evenings
like this, gather around and starts to pour themselves upon us. I feel too
compelled to lie down, closing my eyes, keeping my mouths open to taste those
droplets that might be carrying a lifetime of words among them. And then I become
greedy and wish to be a shell in the deep of oceans, awaiting a drop of rain to
fall in its cocoon to form a pearl, in this case I should think of poetry. Could
this be fulfilled, I wonder.
And then amidst feelings
to lay down a banyan tree, by a lively river, or a silent lake, or a narrow
stream passing by, while it drizzles in reality upon concrete floor, and with a
force enough o break the imaginative mind as well vague looks scanning through
the settings of this unexpected evening, as one does when words appear out of
the blue, one realizes suddenly of reality being harsh yet imaginations being
an alternative that provides for inhabitation amidst our chorus of days that
passes by just like that. I think of those hills and woods getting alive during
these drizzling, birds eager to sing sweeter, flowers to appear much romantic
while sky keeps changing its colors from blue to grey to red.
Evening slowly
starts to turn darker, not in melancholy but in sheer delight, as if all
prepared to embrace the night holding onto its make-ups which the clouds and
rain has laid upon it carefully, I see sky a little sad for it would be hard
for anyone to recognize and to witness its colors yet holding onto a prospect
of new delight in having stars around to sing and dance with as they would
twinkle and sprinkle themselves, as I find myself holding a candle flickering
in wind coming through windows expecting it to show me what lies beyond those
blank sheets of paper laying in front of me upon table. I go out with candle to
the roof and hold it high and compare it with the dimly lit sky, both are
burning slowly, yet bringing words out of dark veil of night, as I watch them
in delight and seek to embrace them, to lay down and sleep in their bosom, feeling
them over self with utmost passion as one learns to make first love.”
