As I looked up at the beautiful sky
I asked it to stay the same,
Not for the whole day but for a few minutes maybe,
And in the blink of an eye, everything changed!

I said, “You cheat, why couldn’t you wait?
I wanted to have more of you,
Absorb in my eyes the beauty of the clouds that you hold so gently,
The silver-lined, clouds so blue!”

With teary eyes and a heavy heart,
I asked
“Why every expectation, breaks my heart?”
As a tear rolled down my face,
I looked up and around and I was amazed.

Amazed to see the sky with various different colors,
Except for that one that I expected to appear.
But it was ecstatic;
It was golden in the west with the setting sun and in the east, it was a beautiful mix of pink and grey,
And I saw a giant rainbow coming,
Making its way.

I danced with joy and love,
As the soothing breeze stroked my hair.
Awestruck I looked at that beautiful sky,
And I started asking questions and it was all ears.

At that moment the sky said to me,
“Life isn’t as complex as you believe it to be.
It’s okay if every wish you make is not answered the way you want,
But believe me, sweetheart, The universe will play only those songs for you
On tunes of which you can joyfully dance.”
