seasons of the soul....

she felt the rage within her rise,
    from gentle sobs to screaming cries;
the tears, they burned her eyes, her soul,
    she waited for the pain to die;

and then it rained, it rained for her.....


the autumn hues coloured her eyes,
    with a sense of hope, for withered lives;
she longed for her loss to drift away,
    be buried in a chasm deep and wide;

and then it snowed, it snowed for her.....


the rush of time, a wearied prey,
    the battle of the everyday;
she wished that 'now' would seemingly halt,
    for new dreams to sow, of a better start;

and the night did fall, kissing her goodnight.....


as light dispels the darkened nights,
    and hope, it triumphs over plight;
a shimmering sunset, a sparkling dawn,
    her heart, it yearned for a new spring song;

and the sun did rise, and shine for her.....

Hi!

Had read this poem when you'd published it. And hadn't been able to relate to it much, so didn't comment.

Also, seeing myself lose monopoly of commenting on your posts, maybe I got insecure too, and was protesting by not commenting! ;)

Anyway, this time around I did understand it, and liked it.

There's a Hindi song that came to my mind this once on reading your poem, and I had done a post with its English translation. Here (click).

It's not related exactly to your poem, but the metaphors were somewhat similar. The greatest difference however being in the song not having a resolution unlike your poem. :)

TC.
