Silent reflection...



When silence in me was provoked,
Heard its echoes in this small creature... 



An ant was walking on a window sill on a rainy evening..
It seemed as if it walked for miles, in search of clarity.
Outer world was blurred but the moist surface helped in slowing down.
Though it tried hard it couldn’t erase the haziness
Climbed up but soon it fell down.

When it got up
It did something which never strike its mind before.
Started exploring the other side of the world
A world which offered endless opportunities,
It could slide over a jam bottle, irritate humans
By going a ride on elongated water tap
And suck the remains of water melon juice…
It could actually experience the joy of living!

Yet it dint forget about the outer world,
A world where the path appeared impossible to walk…
‘It had a curiosity, not expectations’.
Went back by wearing the mask of curiosity
And explored that the widow was slightly open
Finally it slicked out and was drenched by the down pour!  

It’s the world of being, where each moment gives us something more to explore,
Let us not manipulate it by expecting!
