Unfurled Waves! ~ Mital Shah "Winter wind, Silence, Fate - Unfurled"
This is haibun—a Japanese form blending prose and poetry—which invites readers into a deep dive of words, silence, and situational irony.
And it is the true beginning of life which seemed perfect, not demarcated.
A bleak night in winter knocks as windy air at the antique door: “shuuu...”
Surprisingly, no one was there, but the repetition took place.
Days passed like a clock’s hand.
However, love plunged into conflict, spreading the notion of an immature
relationship between Ram and Sita, which appeared happy.
The powerful relationship between Sun and Moon, Sea and Sky… though they never
try to meet each other, they never think to fall apart either.
The Almighty has created a very special relationship between husband and wife, but
the whole play is dependent on destiny, which takes Sita away from Ram.
Mesmerize Kingdom…
Drama occurs
Being not a drama queen.
This small piece of prose highlights the layered variations of the universe. Without even a single leaf, the world is incomplete. Yet, destiny holds the ultimate power, able to checkmate us from the very situations we once thought we ruled.
I felt the irony through this beautifully written piece!
Perhaps we are not meant to defy destiny, but only to bend its arc, just enough to let light in.
