Visibility

By Ravali Reddy

It was D-day, the day a King would be chosen!

Efforts and Results were contesting, and the crowd parted for them like the Red Sea for Israel.

They were prepared and confident it would be one of them, as the test was done and they have proven worthy.

Heads held high, backs ramrod straight they marched ahead knowing they have given and done it all.

After all the wearisome hours spent before dawn and after dusk delivering what was demanded out of them, they entered the arena believing: Nothing could go wrong. Nothing would go wrong.

What they saw wrung their minds, the winds have blown against them. It wasn't a contest; it was the coronation of VISIBILITY as King.

Dumbstruck, their minds dived into silent confusion. One drop at a time, and then all at once epiphany trickled through the cacophony.

Turning on their heel and walking away wasn't going to heal them. Accepting how the world works was the only way of life, while imprinting the learning on their wounds, they bowed to the King indeed!

Actions and Efforts speak louder than words they say.

The booming Results echo louder we learn.

From the shadows VISIBILITY silently sneers at ALL knowing it has a thunderous roar.
