Rejuvenation

Bullets from sky shower my body as I walk briskly down to work,
And I walk drenched by the fury of the heavens..

Arriving at work,I am distracted by the trees outside my window swaying against their will to an invisible force
As helpless as they are, they seem to submit with a suppressed happiness- their colour reveals their rejuvenation..

My mind wanders, past and present combine,
My imagination is my weakness, not allowing me to control my mind...
Sorting through the cluttered files in the inbox of my mind,
I seem to have forgotten where I have placed the attachments and can't find links..
In the weariness of body and the dullness of mind,
I ask for just for a few minutes more to think..

Rushing down the flight of stairs, I run to find the ocean,
I match its fury with my gaze standing at the edge of my city.
It mocks me with its thunderous laugh and lashes drenching me.

Unfazed, I regain my composure and say to the ocean-
"Try your best."

The skies growl and are illuminated by a magnificient sparkle
The bullets from the sky have abated to pinpricks against my skin,
A sense of calm follows and the clouds clear for a little sun..

The sea sends its messenger the wind to cool my being
It wraps me in its tingling coolness..
I submit and my knees give way.

I am embraced by a gush of overwhelming calm
And I allow my body to succumb.
There is peace in submission and calm in the truth.

My mind is the master again.
