the end, the beginning..

it’s over, ...finally. my all too important exams have ended
a feeling of joy and relief washed over me as i walked out of school today. but i just could not register the fact that it was less than two years ago that i had stood in front of the same institution attending the inauguration to mark the start of 11th. i think my thoughts were shared by the others as well, looking at the way all eyes gazed at the open school gates. the glee on our faces after the culmination of the exams was palpable. after all we were brave warriors who had walked through the murky valley of gloom and despair. with our indomitable spirit, we had overcome all odds and endured the harrowing days. ;)
ok, it wasn’t that bad. the papers were easy, easier than the previous years and my answers weren’t that bad. so life moves on now...
its summer and its hot and clammy in this part of the universe. but today we were endowed with a spell of rain and this has ensured that the temperature has fallen down to bearable levels; actually it has been a rather pleasant weather-not too hot and not too cold...no more, no less (like Henry, the penguin says in my sis’s cartoon). inspired by the precipitation we have received, I present my creative byte.

tasting the rain…

the raindrops green and blue,
fall on the roof, drop by drop.
they’re happy, they’re merry
they leap and hop
and skip and jump
till they are taken deep
Into the muddy brown mound.

soon sunshine dances on my face
as the new day calls to me,
a new hour, a new second…
and to making it last??
no, no! I want a new day everyday,
coz it’s boring if the sun only rose and set
and the merry clouds gave no rain.

my wings stretch far
and the wind sweeps through
i glide, I turn, I fly very far
through the vast expanse
of joyful sky, of that I’m sure.

little drops again envelope me
little drops of joy n hope.
the raindrops are still green and blue
with that fragrance, that freshness
it’s a new beginning to new joys.
