She walked along the road, rough and dry;
A rocky terrain, only lifeless souls nigh
Plodding along under the scorching heat, and
A sky devoid of clouds fearing the wrath of the sun
She wished to escape the shadows of her wrongs
That weighed her down and chased her all along
In search of an oasis that seemed only a mirage
Still hoping for a day better than her last
There were others who fell, when she stood tall
Succumbed to the light that galloped them all
When the eyes closed to darkness, all but one
As she moved ahead staring at the sun
And when it seemed that her world would burn
And her soul would fall apart under the mighty sun
There came a cloud, as resilient as they come
Brushing through the sky, parallel to none
Soon others followed as if taking a cue
Together they splashed the sky in a splendid blue
She watched as they fought till the battle was won
Tears streaming down, her prayers finally sung
And as the sky rejoiced in the new cool breeze
The clouds descended among the trees
And then came the rain, cheerful and coy
And morphed her tears into those of joy
The wind caressed her wounds, soothing her pain
The shadows now receded, she danced in the rain.
