O' MOTHER NATURE O’ Mother Nature:
Who would take my life?
Tell me – if you would,
Is it the wild wind, or
The roaring seas, or
The quaking earth, or
A hammering hurricane
Or a smouldering sun…
Or would it be them
Who deprived me of my
Dreams first, and
now my Laughter...
Or is it you who took
It from me –I doubt
Or is it you who took
It from me –I doubt
you’d sent your
wild forces as men
to me, and women…
Did my laugh offend you so,
Did my laugh offend you so,
or my smile irk you,
O’ Mother Nature…
Tell me –if you would…
Yet, would you assume
I would stop…
Sent all your forces
Again, I dare –In my
O’ Mother Nature…
Tell me –if you would…
Yet, would you assume
I would stop…
Sent all your forces
Again, I dare –In my
humble obeisance...

"Or would it be them
Who deprived me of my
Dreams first, and now my Laughter.."....Devika,you write such stunning lines!...i loved your subtle dare in the closing lines....a sense of immense inner-strength shines through...read together with The Wild Bougainvillea i feel one complements the other... i really hope i am not too young to "read" it all...loss would be enitirely mine,Devika.
Thanks so much Nishaa...
Truly speaking i didn't expect you to comment here :)
When i asked others to do that...they never came back :))

They are two of my oldest -posts -- the firsts one could say -- as i started the dream of blogging...Read with the last two -- you would know where I stand...
Yet, nothing lost, only gains -- the new blog is one :)
btw, don't worry about being young -- One is only growing up and beyond with days.:)

we can'r really fight nature... but i fear humans more than her forces...
True Polona, agree hundred percent...
But somehow, atleast for quite a while now -- I feel fearless...infact I was always, but perhaps I didn't bother much about vile forces in humans...
and that led to a kind of disheartening shattering recently...But then, fine -- all fine...
after I gather myself - its all fine :)

devika
Alot of things we say and do may offend ppl around us, just like it may offend Mother Nature. And thats when she REACTS.
Yes another brilliant one Devika!
Keshi.

**Play your games with Margie, and the likes okay??
Devika may I ask what this comment was about?
Games? And Margie? What exactly is ur problem Devika?
I wrote a comment based on ur post and all u could do was blow that comment out of proportion, misunderstand it compleletely, drag my friends into it and insult me? Do I deserve it? NO.
I don't think I need to give u anymore chances cos u hv done this same thing over n over again with me. I think I've had enough of being treated this way from u. do u understand that ur the one who's playing GAMES with ppl's emotions, and not me?
tnxx but NO THANKS Devika. I don't know how else to associate someone like u on the net, cos u always pick on me. I hv better things to do btw than get affected by ur rudeness day in and out. I don't come on the net to get picked on, sorry I refuse to be ur target.
And yes please publish this comment!
Keshi.
Don't be my target, Keshi
never..
My response was in response to many of your responses here, at yours and else where...and we bloggers are suppose to be understanding the 'underlying' games reading those...
If you don't agree -- its fine...i think i can choose my way, there..
Yeah, if you feel I have been "playing" with emotions -- its fine. Let's keep off from each other's space...
