The Collision

Coincidence it is, or is it fate;

that a pollen grain collided with a ball of fire..
And for the first time ever , in its ephemeral life,
flames didn't kill it
s breath, rather gave it life in abundance..

As the ball of fire, so the pollen well knew,
flames could abscond it- in no time for sure...
But happens the reverse , when the ball of fire stays with the pollen,
keeps the distance that 'doesn't kill', rather glorifies its dim-lit world...


When the journey began , the ball of fire told the pollen,
it too had fears, though it never seemed so .
That it knew all well, the power of aqua;
as when the flame is the 'King'- water then is, the 'Ace' of cards..


The pollen realizes, everyone has fears,
and being carried away nowhere by air ,
was as deep a fear, as to the ball of fire,
the fear of losing its flame...


And when the ball of fire, is kept in a dark world- unlit...
it is then, that it learns of its resplendent being,
for in light, there's a life of lesser worth,
than in the darkness -unseen..


So it teaches the pollen, to unleash its odds,
that, maybe somewhere underground,
a darker world needs it, to sprinkle some life,
and to let it know, one's brighter side lives inside...


And the pollen learns, it's more worthy in a barren land ,
'coz even in a land of greens, it's life would have a lot of worth,
but the right place to stay, is where life ceases to exist,
and where you can bring  it back to a new horizon...


For the last words of parting,
the ball of fire teaches to LIVE....
Though the unflinching flames are cursed for- destruction,
it is its life , most powerful and lively,
only when the cursed holocaust waves high- its flames..


And the pollen has now, learnt to live without fears,
for its life is LIFE, the moment it gets carried away by the wind..
And its life BRINGS LIFE, only when it suffocates in the darkness of soil,
in order to breath again and create a new life in that pinch of darkness...


And days pass on, the pollen lives a new life,
now of a hibiscus plant, under the great banyan tree...
narrating its own pollens about A COLLISION,
that brought a living dead pollen to life...
