12th July

                         12th July

The memory of 12th July,
 can never fade in my mind.
Like a light of new dawn,
this day always refresh my memory.
Like a thunder summoning the rain,
this day always prepare'd my mind for a new season of harvest.
T'was exactly this day that the sun travelled across the sky and did not return.

Before the sun embark'd on the journey,
He made a promise to the little bird;
that he will return to give light for a new dawn.
Then he back'd the little bird and starts the journey.
When they approach the sky,  he dropp'd the little bird and ask'd him to wait for him.
Then I saw the sky welcoming him!
The little bird wait'd......
And he wait'd in a thousand times.
But he did not get his return.
Though signs were given for this journey of no return.
Like a Peter on empty ship,
the little bird became a Peter with petered out desire.

The farmers began to prepare their crops for planting,
thinking that the rain will fall.
They start to plant and plant everyday.
They put all hands on deck to enslave failure  inorder to meet up with the rain.
Then after planting,
they started waiting for the rain like a goal keeper.
But the rain failed to fall.

I saw three unknown creatures.....
that came out to welcome the sun.
With the interpretation of the little bird:
the first one represent the moon,
the second one represent the head of the stars and while the last one represent the angel of the sun.
They were the God's creatures 
that came to  visit him.
