Angels On Earth

They say the angels are high up in the sky

Amongst the Gods in the palatial clouds

Some say they shine in the sky

As distant stars day and night.

What would it be if that ain't the case?

Whet would it be if they were in our midst?

Walking with us, running with us

In those agonising moments of angst and distress

I've seen them in many colours

Many faces, many names that my memory fades

In your worst moment, you find them

In your hopelessness, they give you hope

Don't give up is what they say

And surely they do it day after day

Behind the attire, their agonies are forgotten

Behind their smiles, their tears are hidden.

Battles are fought day and night

Against an enemy invisible and strong

Losing the guard is not an option

Losing the faith, is losing a life

Some call them as doctors

Some call them nurses and what more

But for me you are all angels

To save me from the lurking darkness

I see hope, I see trust

Like a tree against a raging storm

Valiant battles fought, fighting to survive

Not just for you, but for all of us.

Angels to live on earth

Angels do walk around me

Angels do protect me from going away

Angels on earth you are - shining bright everyday

Pain Of A Fall

The journey from being full to being empty is just rapid. One moment you feel you have everything. The very next moment you realise you are a pauper. An illusionary world is created around you - a world in which you fly for ever - unhinged and unperturbed. You forget to realise that you could fall. After all, the higher you go, the more impactful is the fall.

Though you know in the back of your mind, you refuse to acknowledge it. Or should I say - you turn a blind eye to it. All if fine - you would say again and again. Just another way to confine your fears. You go around in your merry ways as if things are always going to be just like this - all merry and joyful. It remains the same - until that fateful day comes. That day, when your dreams are shattered, hopes demolished, wishes charred to ashes, and that smile on your face taken away for good.

Why is the fall so grave? Why is the pain so unbearable? You wish you weren't flying this high in life. Sadly though, you cant time travel. Hindsight is a good thing to have - unfortunately though, nothing changes. Just a feeling of hopelessness and a heart brimming with pain.

You try to get up, but you can't. You try to shoo away the frustrations, but it comes back at you with increased vigour. The same world that celebrated you, now looks at you as a loser. Failure takes you to a dark corner - where the light at the end of a tunnel comes from a speeding train rushing towards you.

You are lost, you are helpless. All you are left with are your tears and pain. Why did I fly this high, you wonder. Just that you don't have answers.

Tears

Why are these eyes wet?

Why do these tears roll?

I try to stare away to the ends

Yet the tears keep rolling down.

In pursuit of happiness I wander

Across the seas and on top of the hills

Could have been in the moon if I could

Would have dashed into the stars if need be

Why do you run away from me?

Oh happiness, I seek of you every moment

Yet as a sore loser you walk away

Leaving a sulking me all alone.

Has destiny written this for me?

Thou shall not find it ever

Yet I seek, yet I search

That illusive happiness, day and night

Despondent I become day by day

Frustrated I am every single moment

Yet I keep looking out

you never know - destiny could be kind.

As I stare at myself every night

The mirror cracks and asks me questions

Isn't it time to accept it once and for all

The fact that happiness hated me all along

I sign in despair, hope is running out

Am I not to be happy ever?

My eyes well up in a moment

And the questions keep coming back

Why are these eyes wet?

Why do these tears roll?

I think I know why it does

Yet the tears keep rolling all along...  

Open The Eyes

I wake up from an unending sleep

All I see is darkness around

An eerie silence engulfs the world around

Am I dead, or am I the only one alive?

Out there I see a ray of light

Rush to it I do, in hope and despair

I don't want to die, I don't want to be alone

Alas! I haven't enjoyed this beautiful world yet.

The light comes in through a peeping hole

Oh yes! there is light outside

But I struggle to open that door

Locked from the outside is it, I start to wonder

Strength is pulled in from every sinew

I want to get out, I want to see the light

With great trouble I open the door

To the world of light, to the world of hope

The world is indeed alive

Random birds singing a graceful song

A breeze calming my fears

A drizzle as if to wash away my pain

Oh this world, how beautiful you are

Took you for granted all this while

Closed my eyes to the magic it gave

So as to forget what it is on offer

Realisation kicks in, regrets drive in

I don't want to walk back for sure

There is a lot to enjoy here!

There is a lot to live here!

Eyes were wide shut, open they are now

To this wide world and its beauty

I want to live, I want to enjoy

This beautiful world and all it has for me...

A RESTART - OR IS IT?

This is a journey back - back to the days when I used to pen my thoughts. So is it the start of a journey, or a last phase of a journey where I travel back to the very same place I started. Only time will tell. There are quite a bit of words I scribbled over time lying all over the place. Maybe this is the eventual resting place of all of them. Maybe this is the time they ought to get to see the world... No matter what this is going to be a very interesting journey - a journey where all the aspects of mine comes back to life as a flashback. This is my space - my very own part of the world where I am myself.. So, let the  journey begin!!!
