Black or White

They say that the skies are the limit
Am I to reach so high?
I keep spreading out like the wings of a bird
But always wonder why?
The birds are my guiding force, helping me to get somewhere!!
I wish I knew where I was going
....what I was destined to have been doing...
Life at times just doesnt seem to be fair!!
Why is there so much confusion
Is there a way I could lose 'em?
Why isn't life as simple....
...as simple as black and white
without the varied shades of grey!!!

The Unwavering Reflection

"Who we are
Whatever we do
Cant be hidden
Cant be washed away
Cant be taken away from us!!
It is a part of us...
Our existence has been etched on the sands of time
Can it be easily removed?
Can you hide it or wash it away?
It maybe hazy..
Obscure at times...
But it can never leave you
Just like your reflection!!"

TIme Warp

"Miles have I travelled and each time I felt unprotected
I tried hard to reach a safe place but each time got washed away...
But times keep on changing
And change is here...I sense it!
Time stops for no one
But it will for me....
The waves keep crashing by
But not today...
Today is my day!
See...
See what I have achieved!"

Pent Up

A motley crowd gathered around, each sadder than the other
A deathly silence prevailed as some singer croaked and soft music was belted out
The rituals became a drag
Everyone became edgy!!
There was an uneasy tension building up in the room..
So many of us were teary eyed and yet no one cried!
What was holding us back?
What stopped us from expressing their grief?
I wondered.....
Was it that we did not want to be weak?
Was it because we did not want to be seen so vulnerable?
Was it....
Suddenly a child's cry pierced shocked us out of our silent reverie
The child cried with abandon as if the only one in mourning
He disturbed the pin drop silence among the crowd and in a way unleashed our grief
from within......
It was through a little soul...
through a little soul.....that we found a way of releasing our pent up emotions!!!!

Shining Bright

"They say the darkest night is before the dawn
They say it is in the night when fear grips the town
The darkness engulfs even the tiny ray of hope around!!
But as long as I am there....it doesn't matter what they say...
Cuz I burn the brightest in the darkest hour
Help the tiniest ray of hope shine brighter than before..
I am the one who paves the way when there is none to be found
I am the SUN!"

Revelling in the Beauty

"Let go of all that keeps you occupied
For a few moments become the awestruck child
Come revel in the beauty there is to see
Forget about the past
Dont worry about the future
Let the calm seas wash over all your fears
Come...come experience the feeling of serenity the sea shares with me!!"

Bridging the Gap

"What was it that went wrong
Why is that we stand so far apart
It was always about going a little bit further
But what we failed to realize that we grew further apart too!
All that is left now is this gap
Between you and I
Can it be bridged?
It is only for us to decide!"
