The procrastinating sun refuses to shine

Raging waves that are fearful

A hostile wind that stings like a bee

Piercing sound by a bird

Windows to the soul succumb to

Uncertainties and ambiguities of life

As the beaming rays of hopes appear

Like the ugly caterpillar enter the cocoon

Rainbow moonstone engulf the being

Rivers mend the broken hopes and dreams

Sun peaks over the horizon

Tree of life swiftly made its presence felt

Deafening roar of lion starting to voyage

Welcoming the new beginning
