The Refreshing Heat - The Heat is harsh but nevertheless a necessity

The weather we often describe as harsh teaches us a lesson
every season brings with it a weather that in our life has a reason
we always complain about it being so fleeting in nature
but man forgets 'has he not  been of the same kind in past and will be in future'
on the desolate road of life where man has no stature

the same applies to each and every season through which we live
they are a reflection of what we are and to life what we give
they teach us the hardships that one faces during the course of life
and leave behind the footprints of those experiences in the manner we deal with parents, children and wife
on the desolate road of life where we are always in strife

So here we live in the middle of the hot summer of May
where the days are so unbearable that away in the colder pockets we stay
away from the rays that bring us nothing but hope
away from the very thing that that we long for when the winters give us a grope
on the desolate road of life where away from the problems, with easy solutions we always elope

As you walk under the hot sun the hot blast makes you look for a shade
the sweat makes you feel as if your patience and tolerance are beginning to fade
we look at the sunburned poor man pushing on the desolate road his livelihood cart
and we look up and curse the heavens for making us burn till we get that heat shudder from skin to heart
on the desolate road where our skin feels as if every pore is being struck by a dart

Yet that very shade is a sign of how the sun has blessed us with cover
If it is a tree we have it because at some time the sun had given it a tough summer
If it is concrete we have it because people had once toiled with patience and without slumber
which now makes it stand, tall and strong to give us respite
on the desolate road of life where forces of nature have placed the ball of fire at a killing height

Elements of nature like heat have a hard as well as carnal way to teach us what to life we should be giving
for inspite of hating heat it is the same element that lovers long to feel when on each other they are moving
hate stems from discomfort from our surroundings
be it people or nature problems along our path will always be abounding
But let us face this element with patience and positive elements we possess
heat is a passing element and will be replacd by pleasant breeze which'll pass through you hair like a caress
that is when people will be forced to think about the natural phenomena this unforgiving
on the desolate road of life as an element that makes all heat around us as refreshing
as the rays of sunlight on a cold winter morning which form our day's first blessing
