when nature takes care

I got a call from the restaurant, saying it was time to close their BF buffet. Don’t know when I slept and how. The last thing I remember was I checked time when it was 7.05 AM. Until then i was trying more than 6 hours to sleep at least a little, but in vain.

It was not a easy decision but I have to make it. The thought started to scatter around from where it left before I slept, in fact which was hanging on for past few days. I know its matter of time I shall get rid of it. But how? when?

I came out of the shower and heard the knock at the door. The hotel staff was kind enough to send my breakfast. I ate alone trying to put those thoughts aside. But failed.

Felt like sleeping all day, without thinking anything. anyone, including me. But the schedule may not allow it. I came out of the hotel, it was drizzling. The place known for its coffee cultivation spread a typical hill station scent in the dense air.

Walked a little rather calling the taxi. Reached a particular junction, a bus came; the conductor was constantly shouting something. The bus slowly moved across and some 10 meters away from me. Just my ears manages to catch those words. As a reflex I jogged and jumped into it. Moved forward to the front seat, a single one.

Sat comfortably hugging my bag. Hoped to catch some sleep which may ease me out. My head rested on my bag and eyes confused by the missed commands from the brain, if to close or not… it started to observe tentatively forward where,

the greens & the browns tried to dominate each other
the broad black line ran silently in between,

taking turns, twists, bends all along ups & downs
the motor carried me kept it, in its lane

with speed much more than require to beat a snail
the frequent horns ensure the cattle are alerted & out of way

it was too good a sight for my eyes could ignore any
all these after a sleepless night and when having burdened heart

those scenes got in through eyes gradually started nullifying the burden of heart
I have nothing to do, when nature takes care of balancing THESE equations.
