"On the lonely bench.."


I usually have pictures of Lord Krishna on my desktop. I keep changing the pictures once in a while. This week I have a new desktop wallpaper. This is a photogragh taken by one of my blog friends, Dhanya. I loved the snap at first sight itself. Now that I have it on my desktop, I am falling in love with it each moment. This photograph brings a torrent of emotions to my mind.

A lonely bench..Under the vast blue sky...Among the green grass.

Is it me who sits there on that bench?.....

Am I alone or is there someone sitting along with me?....

Am I facing the green planes or am I facing the depths beyond the cliff?....

I wonder what I would be thinking when I sit alone on a bench like that?.....

I don't know whether I would think of the past with fond rememberances and say "What's happened, happened for good" and look forward to more peaceful times like these. I could probably sing one of those old sentimental Hindi Songs too. Or else would my mind turn to the back and look at the cliff below. Would I feel that a jump from this bench would solve a lot of problems, could elevate me to eternal happiness...Maybe this thought may cross my mind if I sit on the bench for a long time but otherwise "Na".. I am too strong to not face life on its face!
