The Bridge Between Storms

By Ojal Tiwari

The Earth received first drop from the sky
After a long, long wait.
The white clouds turned grey,
Turning the brown land green.

Many tiny little water drops,
Falling together,
Have the potential to change the world!
Who would have thought?

The clouds cried their soul out
To give a new life to the land.
One felt lighter,
The other, brighter.

What followed next,
Was a bridge to connect these two-
A Beautiful Rainbow!

As colourful as it was,
It gave both the desire
To come out of their zones
And experience a different world-
To ground and to fly!

The rainbow was the perfect sign
For a beautiful new beginning.
A beginning of a completely
Different reality.
A beginning of something,
Neither of them would have ever imagined.
A beginning of a new life,
In a new world!

While turning the pages of our life,
Sometimes a 'Rainbow' is what we need.

But one either has to wait
Long, long like the Earth,
With all the grace,
Or has to cry his soul out
Like the clouds,
To give someone else a new life!

Beautiful new beginnings
Happen to those who are 'Bold'
-enough to wait,
Or 'Gentle'
-enough to give.
