I woke up early today... and found it was yet dark outside. Sitting at my window-sill I saw the first lights of dawn painting the skies in myriad shades of vermilion and orange. It was was soft and beautiful dawn, punctured by twittering birds heralding a new day.. pregnant with hope and so many possibilities. Found myself, engulfed with reminiscences and memories of those I love... many of whom are no longer with me. Yet, the poignant moments spent with them remain.. they remind me of times when I was alive. As a haunting emptiness stretches ahead... the day brings forth soulful thoughts which I have penned down:
A Sea of Memories….
They are fleeting… memories like receding waves at the sea-shore
Subtly moistening my mind with reminiscences lost in yore
I can feel their subtle urgings to delve into feelings long past
Like sea-shells scattered across the sand frothy waves have cast
Wish I could drown my illusions in the deep blue waters neigh
Perhaps they would reappear with every wave in a hissing sigh
Strange companions they are in this soulful walk through life
Surreptitiously they peep into mind, in a joyless sullen strife
Can decipher footprints on sand of paths long treaded and cast
Like wreckages veiled in mists of time with just a grotesque mast
Ihe wailing salty wind... roar of surging waves across grey skies
A piteous heaviness within, I can barely decipher… silently lies
I glance heaven wards... in craved agony to vouch messages sent
Perhaps they are lessons in guise… the God’s have verily vent
I ponder at painless lessons…. and if our lives could be kind
Would be easier to live it then… and none would really mind
Futile wishful emptiness… as my haunting reminiscences drove
Life beckons in pain again… to rummage it’s treasure trove.
