It was one stormy night, San Francisco had never seen such dark clouds before, the clouds roared in agony, the lightening showed it's furor by striking again and again. The trees swayed in fear. The wind could not dare to stand up to the mighty clouds, it made it's way for safer ground by fleeting in the most expeditious way one could have ever witnessed.
People were running for cover, kids were looking up at the sky in discombobulation, their eyes wide open and an excitement in their eyes. cars were driving faster. There was chaos everywhere. It grew darker as the storm continued to brew.
With passing moments, it only grew stronger, looming large over the city, threatening the people to grab shelter.
But, alas!!! the angry and frustrated people could not see her wounds, could not feel her pain....now, the time had come, she had to let it out. She had suffered, endured it all. She hadn't let a tear out. Tonight she voiced her pain, her agony......
In moments that followed, there was calm everywhere, the wind stood still as if fearing to tresspass the dreaded territory, no sound, it was still dark all around, only heart beats could be heard, anxious heart beats, some sighing relief, some wondering what's next to come...
The moment of silence was followed with her tears drenching the earth, people stood sodden not wanting to move anymore, not wanting to run for cover, as if sudden realization had dawned upon them, as if making them want to share her pain, feeling remorseful a little, embarrased a little. She had let it out, let it all out, it seemed that all the heaviness from her heart had been lifted.
After a trice, the rain had sobered down and life on earth resumed a state of normalcy. Little girls danced in the rains like little fairies performing ballet on the gentle petals covered with the pearls of the morning dew. Little boys put their hands out as if to feel her tears and give her a touch of innocent comfort.
There were smiles all around, the chirping birds melodiously added to the pitter patter of the rain drops, and once again.....
Sun rays gradually broke through the clouds enhancing the silver lining of the majestic clouds which now were ready to move on...soon there was sunshine all around!
