A flash of light
You hide a little, behind a misty cloud,
And then all of a sudden light the world,
And then go back,
and hide again.
The tension in the air is palpable,
The rustling if the leaves,
And the dancing of the trees,
all indicate you presence,
Then again you reveal yourself,
Flash another million watts,
Whilst I searched for the perfect timing,
You moved on and I missed another shot.
Our relationship is always an up and down,
Sometimes the timing is perfect,
Just like the lips coming together before a kiss.
On the other hand sometimes it’s a total miss.
When I try to capture you,
You grin at me from behind my back,
And by the time I turn,
You are no longer there.
Dear Lightning!
We always tend to try and control everything,
But you remind me,
How things are always unpredictable,
But with patience love and dedication,
In the end you’ll always get the perfect shot.
Mukund P Rao (April 29)
(P.S Here are a few of my efforts to photograph lightning. Unfortunately my camera hasn't been working the past few months but with the rains here tonight, I felt this urge to take pictures. Thus the poem.)
