Lone bird

And the lone bird

Flutters

Flapping its wings

In the rain

Whether it reaches

A Safe spot soon

We don’t know

But flutter it must

To reach wherever

It wants to go

The spirit

The indomitable  spirit

Is almost like

The wet sand

In the rain

It can get washed away

But will take some form

Or like water itself

May evaporate

May  wither

But will take some from

Either in the clouds, in the rivers

In the sea, in the pond

Or in the raindrop itself

Lost cause found

A new hope

Always arises

From a lost cause

Or a crushed aspiration

But rise it must else

Where will

The remnants of

The aspiration go

They have to form

The basis of a new goal

Or the next victory

On raindrops

Raindrops falling

Don’t know

Where they begin

Or where they end

Just fall anywhere

Don’t know their destiny

But do the work

They are meant to do

That’s what we do

Most of the times

Leading the life

Of a raindrop

With or without

Our willingness

With or without

Full knowledge

The night falls

And the night falls

Bringing with it

The memories of the day gone by

And the days gone by

What is to be remembered

What is to be taken ahead

Is your choice

Else let it just fade away

In the darkness of the night
