Heart Lived
As I walked in the rains
I saw people with umbrellas and raincoats
People trying to be protected from rains
While the innocent kids enjoyed paper boats
As I saw the kids smiling at their drowning boats
For a moment, I felt like joining the kids
But I could see people disapproving the kids' acts
I wished for freedom; felt removing my brains' lids
My heart said to me in a complaining gait
People have forgotten the meaning of life
Why are you tied up in unwanted bonds?
Don't care for the stupid proud people's strife
A drop of water fell on my cheeks
I gazed upto the sky to see the clouds
The sky was welcoming me with open arms
I started singing, ignoring the hating of lifeless prouds
My heart opened up and started breathing fresh
I jumped into a puddle and enjoyed water splashing
I danced like an insane and felt more joy
I threw away the umbrella and enjoyed the rain's lashing
With my arms wide open
I tried to hug the cool blowing breeze
To which the nature responded smilingly
I laughed at the clouds as I felt their tease
With arms still open and joy in my face
I started singing the songs of rain
The songs of my heart, the songs of love
With lightening and thunder, I felt the rhythm gain
A drop of rain fell straight on my chest
I felt it moving through to my heart
As my heart felt its pure chill
The sanctity spread to my body's every part
Like a paint brush dip in a glass of water
Just as the way the colour spreads in it
The rain drop spread new blood in my heart
I could feel the new life in my every bit
The new life filled me with energy
I felt my heart pump with happiness
I asked my heart how it felt the feeling
To which it responded full of caress
"I lived..I lived.."
