Change

The King went naked today. He discarded his robes for the unadorned, nude look. After weeks and weeks of silks, feathers and plumes, this was a shocking change. Every day we subjects would wait for the King to prance around in his multi-hued feathers – sometimes white, sometimes dark grey, sometimes black and sometimes golden – and expectantly await the shower of the feather-lets to fall from his dresses. We celebrated such joyous occasions of having been blessed by the Lord.

After many such weeks of expectations, disappointment and joy for his subjects, the King has discarded his robes. The winter has ended. The sky stretches from end to end like a blue ocean without a hint of clouds. Please welcome summer.
