Feelings: A-to-Z Challenge [7 April 2014]

She fumbled when she stood in front of a huge audience.
She feared that she will miss out on this big task.
She followed her faith and started to speak.
The theme of her poem was feelings....

She stammered when she uttered the first line:

Here I come face to face, with a few feelings. 

She looked right at the audience. Every person, sitting on chairs arranged neatly in rows, was looking at her. She searched for acceptance in their eyes as she carried on with the next part of her verse:

I felt great when I was out in rain for the first time.
But when I saw pictures of flood and death, I felt sick. 
It was the day when my love for rain was put on hold.

By now she had a grip not on the audience, but on her mind. She looked up, till the last row of the auditorium. She saw that many people were standing beyond her range.


I felt great when I dipped in the sea and played with the waves.
When  I witnesses the destruction caused by Tsunami, I was suddenly averse to that feeling.
It was the day when that lovely feeling was arrested.


She knew that audience was listening to her, as she went on an introspection. She thought that nature that bring such soothing feel, could be destructive and harsh if you test its limits.

When I thought of the world without water.
I felt thirsty in an endless dessert, I saw mirage of oasis.
Those feelings that were put on hold or arrested were put to test.


Thank you!

She walked towards the exit of the stage thinking why does nature get destructive. Is mankind testing its limits? She knew that it was a yes, and felt bad. She turned back to the dias and said,

I am indeed thankful to the mother nature
To bless us with so much
And I am ashamed of mankind for raping nature.

Be nice to nature, after all we survive on water and breath oxygen.

Author's Note: I am a water sign and I love water. When I saw a dangerous Indian Ocean video that went viral, at that moment I was scared of water. It got me thinking that huge spread of water across our planet is for our need. Time and again mankind has tested the patience of it. Global warming is one of the proofs. 

P.S.: Through this post I tried to capture a multitude of feelings, stage fear, fear of survival, fear of water, fear of shame and guilt  that she belonged to a segment of society who is committing a heinous crime. 

P.P.S.: This is 200th live post on my blog :)
