The Makeover

By Mansi Chaturvedi on 7th Jul 2024

I love the makeover when the blues
Just turn gradually dark
When the blanket of the shimmers and twinkles adorn it with the bright shining stars.
A little canopy it seems to me which I built since I was a child
When I hid myself from those scary
Prying eyes.
A little torch I did hold
under the dark covers that I hid
A little light just needed,
Not very bright but dim.
Today I love this change when the day takes a break
As it bids goodbye to me
I welcome the dark shade.
I have seen the palette of colours that it spreads across itself
A makeover indeed to bring out what lies ahead.
A tinge of every colour looks beautiful to me
As it prepares me for the dark cover
That gives me a much awaited relief.
The blue changes slowly
The artist seems to be at work
With every stroke and blend of colour
A magic he creates from above.
Every makeover brings in a lovely change to see
But I love the darkness with the glitter
And a dim light of the moon
That sets the mood for me.

Have you ever sat for a while alone enjoying just watching the colours change in the sky. The subtle transition that just catches you unaware. The varied hues that are spilt across the sky just completely mesmerises me. Shades of colours that tell you what the day is going to be. When you just look out and see how the stars completely disappear and the darkness of the night turns gradually brighter. The colour suddenly changes to a cool blue waiting for a clear blue sky and the sun just rising for a bright day. But what's before that , the shades of orange or pink as if the gates open up with a new day and new opportunity. Just like someone who walks in to lift you up once again giving you the hope and motivating you to start all over again.
At times the darkness changes to a dull shade , when the grey clouds just do not let the sun out and what you hear is the commotion up there. The loud thunder or the lightning that pierces through the sky . Conflicts in the sky just like something up in your head. When a part of you wants to try again while your fears and anxiety tell you , you cannot. When what you think seems totally in a mess and you cannot choose between the right or wrong. What happens then, chaos, confusion and finally an outburst. Be it anger, disgust , frustration or feeling of sadness. It gets heavy there and you suddenly burst into tears like the rain . The clouds gather around making it gloomy and you eagerly waiting for the sun to shine bright.
At times there comes a ray of hope and while you shed your tears , someone suddenly walks in like the lovely rainbow in the sky. A little confused are you to decide what you want to do but you feel light and happier. Mixed emotions like the colours of the rainbow in the sky. You never know from where they begin and where they end. Yet when someone sits with you in your darkest hour you feel at peace. Seems like you are relaxed to sleep and unwind. Just like the sky that changes once again when the day comes to an end taking away with it the orange and pink shades as it makes it exit . While you just relax after a hard day with someone who cares and love . If not someone near you then that white lamp that visits you every night and stays with you , telling you I might be far but I am here incase you miss someone or feel alone. This sets the mood right as the peace and the calmness of this light just makes you realise, it's time to rest and feel fresh again once the night bids you goodbye and a day brings in something new for you.
Remember you are never alone for someone up there provides you hope and light when you feel lonely or you don't feel right.
