Give Wings to
your Love
"Take away love, & our
earth's a tomb". When we say or express "I LOVE YOU", it means, giving
you totally minus ego, minus 'I'. Love's a flower & a river that needs to
spread its fragrance & waters to all barren hearts. Holding love too tight
makes it lose its sanctity & freedom. This story is about me.

I longed desperately for love. As always, one evening when I was taking a
stroll in the gardens, I found a two starving birds that were craving for
love & attention just as me. I took them home & put them in a small
gliding cage. Nurturing them with love, care, attention, which I had been
craving for, I gave all to them & they grew strong. Every morning I was
greeted with a good song. I wouldn't say, I was falling in love but love
was making me rise. Though I had a full- fledged family, I still craved
for love attention.
My husband, Madan is busy in his world & he has hardly
found time & given his love to our child & me. Yet I have been waiting
like a barren land for his showers of love continuously for 3 long years.
Absent mindedly, I left the cage open one day. The larger & the stronger
of the 2 birds flew off. I was watching anxiously as it circled around my
head. |

Suddenly feeling that even
this love would go away from me, I held it very tight. And then, it was I
noticed that the bird had gone limp just like me. "Why did I do it?" I
wondered. Wandering in my thoughts, I saw another bird twittering in the
cage. And it was at this moment; I realized that the bird needed to fly.
There was a great need for the bird to soar into the sky along with his
loved ones. All that mattered to me now was freeing it.
Circling once,
twice, thrice, the bird sang one of the melodiest songs of selfless love I
had ever heard. |
My heart was no longer
concerned with its loss. I was giving my share of love. Watching all this
mutely, my husband, Madan
walked away even after seeing all this. I have learnt my lesson. The
fastest way to lose love is too hold on too tight, & the best way to keep
love alive is to Give Its Wings!! I have given wings to my beloved
husband, Madan. Hope he gives me the "WINGS OF LOVE". Friends, in this techno - fast pacing world, we at some end or another
phase tend to take each other for granted, claiming that we have ladders
of success to climb; but fail down to see, that success follows you, I or Madan only when we love, bear, share, care - the 4 ingredients of a happy
life. So, the next times dear
wives, your husbands fail to give attention relate them this story and
make your life happy & lovable. I'm still trying to have his love and
waiting.
