It was my third rafting trip.
My leg was injured but my spirits were not to be dampened.
I see the cliff from far away
the tickling in the legs begin
it was to be a fall
a deep deep one
Mustering all the courage i could
walked or rather climbed slowly
tottering my way thru the rocks
The jumping point calls me-
O six feet devil
The end is near.
Just as I was about to fall
Counting 1-2-.........
My heart sinks
My legs fail to carry the body weight
They tremble
and
they scream-
Sit down u loser
Today its not gonna be.
Then I see a lady
With thousand bangles up her sleeves
The Ganges has played rough on the make up
but the smiles fail to fade
Looking at frens n family
she says-
This is the last time i try
If i fail
I will accept I'm a fry.
The devil's mind calls the devil
Here's ur chance
Do it, DO IT and satisfy ur evil
My fingers twitch
My Hands move
and just as she was abt to give up
she loses balance.
Her cries lost in the splashing water
Her eyes trying to locate the culprit
I become part of the crowd
and the mind says loud-
Lady in the Water
Lady in the Water.
the smile broadens
the heart expands
the courage returns
I take a fall
again n again.
