The Song of Life

THE
SONG OF LIFE

There
stood a mountain

Its
lofty peak reaching the skies

As
haughty and imperious

As
that of a conceited beauty

It's
rugged and craggy slopes

Making
it a treacherous ascent

The
way an intimidated guy feels

To
approach an aloof loveliness

Then,
one fateful day the Earth trembles

The
mountain tremors from it's roots

The
world around her tumbles

Paving
way for doomed days

The
upsurge of waves, the rise and fall of tides

Perilous
sea waters

Her
life is that of a tortured soul

Peace
robbed off, melancholy chills her heart

The
spell dies out

The
waves, calm and soothing

There
is a truce in her existence

Tranquility
of mind, if not for a stretch

Higher
and higher the water rises, like tsunami

Pandemonium
strikes humans and aquamarine alike

Life
is in turmoil, no solace, desolate, barren

Her
sanity wanes, her eyes stare into nothing

A
seed deep buried inside Earth

Shoots
to life, its thirst quenched by a drop of rain

Her
inner song starts as a low murmur

It
taps the senses to their core

Leaves
sprout, the infancy of the color assuaging

Dew
drops make it a sweet treat to the eyes

The
song grows stronger, the mist starts clearing

Her
senses slowly catches breath

Sweet
smelling fruits and flowers blossom

The
tree stands sturdy against the odds of nature

The
song of her life takes full swing

Head
held high, the patronizing look is back
