A New Dawn

It was very cold outside . Mist and fog engulfed everything on the earth to be viewed by mortal eyes . I was roaming aimlessly – unclad with any manmade clothes . Frowning lashes of tortures of the winter night could not make me a slave, to succumb to her austere oppression . My insolent indifference to her pungent calamity aroused her ire and she got infuriated to my punish my audacity. All her massive weapons fell flat on my nonchalant attitude . I moved on naked ignoring gnarling howling of the nocturnal nature boiling in rage ! A fusillade of sleets with the speed of missiles , was trying to perforate my head with hundred holes . At long last my human body surrendered to the omnipotence of the hostile nature . I took refuge temporarily , under the envelop of unconsciousness . A new smiling morning dawned spreading a sheet of oblivion on the earth making her forgetful of the furies of the last night . I opened my eyes – gently unfolded by the soft touch of sunshine . My unbalanced , morbid brain got back complete sanity . Rejection in love turned me mentally retarded. Dancing sleet rearranged my disrupted cells to its regular array – and my insanity got recovered . I even forgot what happened in my past life . Loss of memory helped me to start a new life . The blue sky waved me a welcome journey to my new phase of life . A hilarious swarm of butterflies whirled over my head to greet me . The flowers in the nearby bushes peeped out to congratulate me on my recovery . I stitched with thorns the spacious leaves , collecting from the nature’ s wardrobe, to sew my garment to hide shame and set out for the nearest town to turn over a new leaf .
