The heavens are weeping
and the torrent seems endless.
Every drop on the window pane
slithers down to meet another.
Much like how I yearn
to be with you together.
Our grief seems mirrored,
both my soul and this weather.
And just like the sky that awaits
a rainbow – a promise for tomorrow.
I desire your presence that
will banish all my gloom forever.
Wow! It feels like so long since I wrote and it is. I had been on a month long vacation with my family. A much needed one!
But after traveling through two states in monsoon-run India, staying at four different houses in a country with constant electricity shortages, extreme humidity, and blood sucking mosquitoes, not to mention two irritated children and two harassed parents – well, it isn’t exactly the kind of holiday I had had in mind! At the end of it all, I was really craving a break from the vacation! LOL!
I really cannot wait for the children to be grownup enough to pack and carry their own luggage, rush to the lavatory whenever and wherever they needed and fan themselves to relief or find contentment in sweating profusely.
Perhaps I am being too harsh on all the vacation fun we did have. Meeting all our dear family and friends, catching up to everyone was memorable. I probably shouldn’t complain so much. I might miss these memories of traveling together when the kids are older. I guess I should then look forward to the experience of bracing the weather, the critters, the haphazard packing, the bingeing on food, the unnecessary shopping, the unpacking, the aching arms from carrying babies and bags, the sorting, the LAUNDRY…!
Ummmm… No thanks! I’ll just put away these suitcases where they belong – in the attic where no one can find them – under lock and key!
😀
Cheers! I’m back!
