Elements

Fire

As the funeral pyre was lit by him he remembered the promises that he had made keeping the sacred fire as witness...he had promised her that he would be her partner in all endeavors... But that that was another moment...in few moments she was to be turned in to ashes...to be free from all bonds...not just marriage...but life itself..His bond with her started with fire as witness...Now he witnessed how fire erased the last traces of her physical existence. He walked back silently...with her ashes in the pot.

Water

As he immersed her ashes in the holy river,asking the mother goddess to cleanse his beloved of all sins...he wished for a flood so that he gets washed away...but the river was calm and he had to come back to the madness of life.

Earth

As he was walking...he wished there would be a earth quake so that he can avoid living on earth that does not have the presence of his beloved..it was not to be...the earth was strong enough to contain the pressure and let her son walk safely.

Air

As he continued walking towards home,it darkened and the air was smelling of freshness of first rain...reminding him of his first meeting with her...He wished for a thunderstorm so he would be taken away by the breeze in to the unknown... But the breeze gently touched him on the cheek reminding him of her touch...


Sky

He decided it's good to jump from stairs so that he be able to reach her...but when he looked up in the sky while taking the steps towards stairs...he saw the moon and the promise he had made her under the moonlit night on their first anniversary...to never give up in life...to live...no matter how the world acted...or circumstances reacted...he had tears in eyes and saw her as a bright star protecting him from all troubles.

There he slept on the ground of terrace closing his eyes......

Midnight post

War and Peace

As the smoke clears there is calmness all around...I am at peace as I don't hear cries of wounded soldiers anymore. I get up to find there is no pain in my chest and I don't have my Rifle in hands...I have neither hatred nor love...Then I see my enemy that I shot down moments ago walk towards me with hands gesturing for a hug.Surprisingly we shake our hands and hug and  walk together  towards the unending road peacefully..
