THE PURPLE PARCEL.

I walked out in the dark
To behold at my backyard
and find out for myself the purpose yet to be unravelled by me

Nature’s beauty epitomized my graceful being
Amidst the calmness and quietness
I heard of all sounds, the quietest
I strained my ears to hear the sound again as in a forest
but restored again was the tranquil calmness

Looking in the direction of the sound expectantly I beheld a wonder amusingly Covered and veiled by a couple of leaves partially
But I still was drawn closer to it attractively
My little finger did the unveiling
And guess what was this beautiful thing
It was a purple parcel, the prettiest I’ve seen
With a dazzling splendour and brightly glowing

Then as I reached for it to unwrap it
Adeep sense of accomplishment oozed off from within me
This added a cap to its glowing beauty
Aggravating my craving to fulfil it.

But then, just then;
Another wonder emerged like a thunder
I heard the same quiet sound I’ve heard earlier
But with the source of the sound, I’m now familiar

It was another purple parcel that has just popped open
To reveal its splendour equally brightening
But baffling me still was a thing
This parcel too was partially veiled even.

Then I learnt from the purple parcels
That whatever strengths my creator has given meI should not glory in those
But keeping my heart low
But amidst the humility

Still maintaining my self esteem and integrity
Exuberating my radiance
But not forgetting that there are prettier parcels in the mall.

Purple parcel, my purple parcel
What a great Lesson you have taught me,
To be as humble as you!
