What does it tell you?

It rained cats and dogs an hour back, 

An undeniable calm surrounded as the rain stopped.

The sun peeped out of the clouds slowly,
And the leaves could breathe at last after the shudder.

What a time to look into the shades of the nature!

As they say, there is nothing as beautiful as the calm after the storm.

Equally disturbing is to discern the destruction it has created,

Yet, as refreshing as it is to know that it has ended somehow.

I kept walking through the wet concrete road,
with droplets of water dripping off the leaves
from the trees on either side as the wind flows subtly.
This is the same wind that was unsettling and furious a moment back.

Hang in on there, the sun will shine right through your window.
Walk through the storm, survive, you got to feel the calm once its over.
Give things time. After all its the same wind that soothes or quivers a tree.
One at a time, one after the other, it will all settle.

The next time when you happen to look into the nature,
Be it a lush green surround or a barren land,
A flowing river or its imprint on the sand
Ask yourself "What does it tell you?"

Every little piece of land or grain of sand has its own story to tell.
As you seek answers, nature has its own way of teaching you things.
Once you are done adoring its beauty, or loathing on its adversity
Try asking yourself "What does it tell you?"
