The clouds and The sun January 7 , 2017

                                                On a dull and dreary day,

                                                When the sky was overcast,

                                                With dark and dismal clouds,

                                                 I felt utterly depressed.

                                                Absence of warmth and  sunshine, 

                                                Slowed down the routine business,

                                                The day seemed  unusually longer,  

                                                As time had stopped somewhere.

                                              

                                                 That made my spirits  sink low,  

                                                 Leaving me inactive and  bored, 

                                                 Afraid if time would go like this,  -

                                                  Devoid of activities and cheer.

                                                 At  this point  my mind and heart,

                                                 Began chiding me  in unison, 

                                              '' How come you be such a pessimist, 

                                                Knowing well the ways of Nature ?''

                                                ''Isn't  each night  followed by a day,

                                                 Each  cold winter with colourful spring,

                                                 Don't clouds give way to the Sun always,
                                                 And showers follow to cool heatwaves?

                                                                            

                                                 '' Aren't  these   parts of Nature's cycle,
                                                   Planned for the  good of  all creatures,
                                                   Why not welcome  each  new  season,
                                                   That Nature brings with such wisdom? "
