speechless. How beautiful it can get, each part is redefining the boundaries of
my notions about the beauty of art 👏👏Every new chapter bringing entirely new
dimensions. Elements of life, their synchrony, their antagonisms, all that is
needed for creation of this world around and inside us. An ever existing
continuum.
I have
always associated wind with desires and dreams,
an urge to explore.The power to compensate for the reality,imagination
basically as it can flow freely and reach places which are out of reach for others. Every element has one property dominant over the other at different
points of time. Wind and water both have that fluidity, an ability to flow, but water is something which can change its form😳
Fire always has its association with
the Earth and It was the fire which transformed the water into something which
at the beginning could not be differentiated from the wind, who decided to be
the humble receiver. The fire unknowingly surrendered its own salvage to the
wind, which accepted the gift, and
carried this transformed element gently and provided it with the opportunities to
explore the world. To explore the very attributes defining her, but which she
lost in her encounter with the raging fire.
Wind being the witness of her
journey falls in love with her, enchanted, it becomes completely oblivious to
her regaining the form, something which will become too heavy for it to carry
after some time. A form which is destined to quench the thirst of the ground
ablaze with the fire, she sees the element lying beneath those furious flames.
Wind being afraid to lose her, afraid to see her losing what she gained in this
entire process of exploration, tries to keep her captive by transforming itself
into a storm, a storm which tries to take her away, which challenges the fire
to fight before it can reach her. Irony, once you part ways with the gentleness, you are bound to part ways with her too, you will have to surrender her, to the very place from where you carried it.
Rain doesn't care about the fight, as she has
to fall, ultimately she has to be the giver.Rain ultimately needs to come down, it cannot let go its association with the Earth,its love,the only one capable to give her that abode to rest after a long journey.She needs to come back to the
place where she started her journey.But all this didn't go in vain,it changed something, her awareness, her awareness
about her indispensability to maintain this cycle, this continuum which at some
point of time would lead to sprouting of seeds of life.
I really don't know if i could make any sense, but was not able to resist this urge to write.
Here is something more sensible-
"sometimes i don't know, which moment
which cool gust of wind will come,
and enchant me
tousling my hair
and my heart,
stirring...that familiar ache of poetry,
which drop will kiss
the old wrench in my soul
reminding me, all over again
i miss you better in the rain."
