My Hero...







Flying towards me
He gazes at me with telepathic eyes
Shamefaced by my weakeness
I cast my feeble glance into the dark horizons
The blistering winds
Spells the ferocity of the ensuing hurricane
A shiver runs down my spine
I can feel my determination and persistence
Ease from my insides like a punctured tire
I stammer my unwillingness
To rear against the furious storm
I raise a beseeching eye to his
Can't you see, am not bespoken yet
To combat with such.

But unabated
With a calm you can knife-slice
He stoops over me
At my hesitation he shoots me an admonishing glare
Knowing he will be implacable
Reluctantly with a wobbly step, I perch

The paroxysm has attained its full velocity
The hail blinding us as we set off to our ascent
The skies rumble angrily
Despite being savvy of his expertise,
My insides blench

With the moxie of a masterful guardian
You perceptively glide us through the thick hell
You mount high to the epicentre
In the ghastly turbulence
Then,you spread your wings
Floating us higher above the pandemonium
With a nudging smile you prod me to relax
I loosen my grasp and sprawl out
Ushering in a resilient sinew

And once again in self rebuke
I wonder why I doubted your gallantness
Your obstinate refusal to let me give up
Your amiable objurgation
Your compassion and forbearance
Has seen us soar above another storm.
