I swam

I swam

The wet droplets on my body told me I swam .
Or was it sweat ?
Was I drenched in my own fear …?
Or was it the much awaited monsoon…

Later maybe
The answers will reveal themselves

Time shall tell me
Whether it was the tide I swam against

Seasons will reveal their true faces
And Fear …?
Let it take a back seat..

For now…
I will believe
I swam against the tide
And the tide …?
Well hasn’t it reached my backyard now?
