Apocalypse Tale…

                               

Oust locks dangle from a motionless labyrinth. A puff of air sets them in motion annoying the emerald steady gaze. The still eyes are not dead, nor sad or ailing either... Yet they could dumbfound an astronaut with their likeliness to the universe. Same beauty, mystery and infinity!

A playful wind sets everyone free from the clutch of immobile time. Dead leaves hiss back to life. Dust gleam in eternal bliss! She fixed her locks back in the labyrinth skillfully guarding the pour on her shoulders. The intricate maze stood tall on her head. Some leaves hovered over to adorn while gleam dust fell gaped on the splendor!

She turned her gaze over the rock and moved towards it to sit. She wore a dull yellow robe that appeared too scared to clothe her beauty. It flowed gently with her every movement that was pure elegance. She looked unearthly… perhaps just a pair of wings would best suit her! She sat on the rock and crossed her leg over another and perched her lovely hands on her knee. Her gaze remained fixed on the horizon.

The sun felt embarrassed for bearing the uneasy heat taking refuge behind every passing cloud. Her bare feet, one that rested on the ground and the other that hung seemed to hold time. Time that was supposed to slip into another moment stood still enthralled in want of more. The dirt on her soles portrayed pure bond between life and earth!

Clouds conspired to rain unduly to touch and drench her every pores. The wind caught the whiff and shoved the clouds to move away. The heavy clouds thundered to summon the others. So the clouds raced from all corners branding dark shadows all over. They swelled and hung low while the wind exerted with all its might to overthrow the clouds. The shy sun got fierce and blazed the clouds from above… scattering a spectacle of lights and shadows.  The agony stricken sky sparked with millions of dazzling lightening followed by monstrous thundering!

She remained unmoved by all this happenings still keeping her gaze on the horizon. Thousands of creatures crawled across her standing foot seeking refuge underground.  The last of the birds flew low over her head seeking refuge in caves that were already full with both prey and predators! One nervous bird dashed and unfurled her maze that seemed to flow along with the passing wind!  Far on the horizon it began to rain fire and of course rain too.

Swiftly she stood on her toes!

On her eyes reflected an unearthly image of a being that appeared far on the horizon. Her eyes blot into a sad smile while the image approached and waved his hand.
