Seasons....!

It’s the cycle of nature.... of nurture....
Birth... growth and its future....
Its a similar cycle that happened at the turn of the millennium...
a cycle of search, research....
A cycle that experienced a growth, a maturity, a love and a sense of belonging...
A cycle that started as a need ... grew to a fondness and back to a need...
The needs being different though....
It was the seasons that nurtured this need...

Summer musings... Summer nights... warm and sultry....
a time to stare up at the see-through sky
We have done that often together... longing for openness
seeking the pole star amidst chaos and confusion
Fought and seen stars ...
sought pleasures amongst pressures.... high temperatures and hence low pressures....
Hurt and be hurt, knowingly and unknowingly
Felt the heat of the warm breeze and the tenderness of the need ... a need to conceal the minimum...
Summer was the starter... the pitcher... the drink that set us off...

Rains... Monsoons hit us... with storms
unleashing a wave of emotions... belonging, possession,
It saw the clouds of turbulence...
the pressures of flight and landing
Together we smelt the fragrance of seminal earth ...
There was a blend - Fire, Earth, Water, Air
Heat, Balance, Flow, Flight... we had experienced the need...
the need to empathize.... we had known it all!

Winters.... Autumn... the Fall!
New leaves had come... old ones to leave...
We HAD to turn over a new leaf...
It was the time of seeking warmth in the external...
a time now to slip out and slip in to new attires.
We groped for the known in the dark... knowing the seemingly unknown
We knew what was beneath ... we had seen it all...
we had felt the feel, heard the chord... and seen the sight...
of the need to be THERE... JUST THERE...

Summers vaporized.... Monsoons receded...Winters froze...
Impacting us...
Giving colours to a bond that goes beyond the cycle of nature....
Red to Green and Red... Young to youth through maturity...
Aiding a nurture of relationship.. guided by
a thought that didn’t need thinking... thought by the heart
a feeling felt by the head
a timeless understanding

Summer need of FIRE, Monsoons of EARTH, Autumn of AIR.... flowing with the tide of one need to another...
There is none now... it is salvation...

I now sit back thinking of the now.. Seasoned with maturity...
The NOW "I" as in THEN..
The atom of an eternal lover.... a lover of this relationship...NAMELESS
We have parented a relationship... conceived, labored, delivered and nurtured...
.... Hoping to stay on as this... till Death Do Us Apart!!!!!!!!!!
