I was on my path going straight,

stop for a breather,

suddenly started rain.

I left that path,

Enter a narrow lane,

In the search of shelter,

From this heavy rain.

In some distance,

In tree - less plain,

Lay in abyss,

A dark cave.

Nothing was in sight,

But this dark cave,

I was wet and tired,

Due to this heavy rain.

I was soaked to the bone,

But Frightened at the same.

There might be a creature,

In this dark cave .

I entered the cave ,

My steps a Shaky frail .

I saw something shining ,

A little away .

I got curious and thought ,

I might find a way .

It was a diamond ,

Nestled in dirt and clay .

That caught a ray .

Beautiful gem hidden in clay ,

Shining like a drop of rain .

Calling me to take it out of its hidden place .

But it wasn't mine to take ,

So I left it there in the dirty clay .

Let it wait for its rightful owner ,

To take it out of dirt and this cave .

Sun goes down and night came ,

In the sky settled a sheet of grey .

With thick clouds of rain .

Stars were out but trying to play ,

Hiding behind the clouds ,

Asking if you can find them in rain .

The Cave was black as night ,

without its starry haze .

Warm like a hearth ,

With a bed of hay .

Nestled in the corner ,

Of This lonely cave .

I was sheltered from rain ,

And dangers of dark lurking in the shadows for its prey .

Lightning was rare ,

but Pierces the dark in the cave .

Clap of thunder keeping me awake .

The night was long ,

Finally comes a bright day .

Replacing the dark ,

Were shining rays .

I was woken up by sunny rays ,

While my mind was clouded ,

With dreamy haze .

The dark was gone ,

As was the rain .

The cave was warm ,

like a hearth in summer day .

The warm breeze entered the cave ,

With bright sunny rays .

Announcing a new day ,

Full of hope ,

And promises of new way .

But to find the way ,

I must leave this cave ,

My sanctuary of hay .

Coming out of the cave ,

I found a small lain ,

Walked by many but ,

still covered with dry leaves .

The path was new ,

Not the one I came from previous day .

My heart called for it ,

Brain says it's not your way .

The brain was right ,

It wasn't my way .

But heart was calling ,

to a better way .

The way I wanted to follow ,

In the first place.

Hopefully it would lead me to my aim.
