wind

sitting on a swing surrounded by the mountains in the dead of the night, i heard the calls of the wind... calls which are overpowered by the city i live in... i realised that it sounds just like a river gushing down a mountain(which was audible as well in the background)...
the first thought was... my desire to fly away to where ever it might take me...
soon the gentle breeze grew into a mighty storm lashing out... from being comforting it progressed to being frightening...hence the next thought was... will i be able to fly a plane in this storm...?
nature can prove its extreme strength or become furious any moment it decides to... its unrivalled might always scares me...
the sound of a rare bike passing by was comforting at this moment when i was being enveloped by darkness and its windy companion...
the possiblities of nature and civilization harmoniously co-existing flashed through my mind... the thought of experienceing the same in a city was heartening...

trees were responding to it in a varying manner... some bent in front of it, some embraced it & rejoiced and some resisted it, of which a few survived & some didn't...
gradually it started engulfing me and all i could think of was to become one with it...

nature is what makes this planet a livable place... it is what earth is proud of... it is what we all should save and preserve not for us or for the overstated excuse of welfare of the future generations... but for just what it is.. nothing more, nothing less... just for being natural...!
