Just a thought...

Happiness is indeed a choice! People will walk into your lives and people will walk out of it, either on their own or simply by fate. That should not stop you from being happy.You  can't simply base your life's happiness on this. Time changes and life changes and you might have to give up your most beloved possessions. Sometimes even if you will your life to stop, it won't. So happiness should be found from everything, the smallest of things. A kid smiling or an autumn leaf flying in the air or a simple gaze at an empty lane or a moment that made you tear in laughter or a time spent talking to your friend or a casual evening at your home laughing with you parents. Just about anything 'coz someday we might simply open our eyes and see that poofff!! all is gone and new things are in its stead. Not to be disheartened but that's the truth or so I have recently found. And most importantly strive to achieve and when you do, do it for yourself. In a plain straight and even way when you work hard towards something and eventually achieve it, there can be no better feeling to equate it with anything else. And sometimes it is good to do things for yourself. Not in a selfish way but simply to keep yourself happy!

And there comes those times you just have to endure..

...it was dark and the night was heavy.
 From the balcony of the second floor he looked down
and i looked up and felt those eyes, urging me to come back.
 I turned my back to him and walked out,
gulping back the tears that had formed in my eyes.
I didnt allow them to spill
and all i could say to myself was- "This is life,
has always been this way and shall always be".
One might think that they do not know but they know.
It was like a cold stone, no, a lot of cold stones dropping on my heart
and my heart went cold.

Caged

 From the window of the caged cell the forlorn eyes look up.

Through the bar it sees the wings that soar

the expanse of the blue skies.

The flutter of wind it can feel in its bones

though the feet are firmly planted on the grounds.

Through the shrouds of grey it sees high hopes

of days of smiles and laughter abound.

A fear of uncertainty clouds its vision

as the grim reality strikes.

Green are fields beyond the walls

which had once touched the feet,

yet now within these dark cold walls

barren have turned the earth beneath.

On A Seashore In A Dark Night

The moon shining full and bright

The waves lapping against the shore on this dark night

And along the shore long I walk in the beaming moonlight

Glistening like diamonds on the waters deep

The roar of the waves, into the heart it seeps.

Such magical feel never before had I felt

The majesty of the sea that with the horizon melts.

Far it goes so far

And travels like horses for miles and miles

And caresses the foot of some shore unknown

So mystic and so alone..

Never do these eyes tire

To behold the unending sea- It’s like a delve into eternity

What message I wonder though, does it come to give

And thus they come and thus they leave

Always does it’s footsteps recedes

With a promise of return which it always keeps.

Some things shall always remain the same…

There were dreams and there still are- some broken, some still to come true and some impossible ones that have seen the light of the day. It’s amazing really-how we wait for things which shall never come; days that are ornamented with the blossoms of youth in the mind’s expansive universe; how days that are and will be are still lightened by the shadows of yesterday. New seeds of hope are sown everyday no matter how crushed they get. The baffling world travels on and so do I. Like the moon that ceaselessly shines every night , like the breeze that forever blows and the flowers that forever blossom, we all will continue to live on..always with old dreams and new hopes that everyday like the sun shines, we shall continue to live on. Centuries have passed. People come and go. Yet the world is same as ever. It’s really good to know that some things never change. When everything that was shall never again be, when everything that you love, change; it’s the only thing that gets us going, knowing that some things shall always remain the same.

Once in a while....

Miles and miles away

Somewhere lay, a half trodden path

Where a fresh breath of air lingers still

Miles it travel, the fragrance

And perfumes the senses

 once in a while.

Airplanes

Up she goes into the sky so high

Floating mid air, the world below passes by.

Foams of white clouds the vision-

A moment of majesty beyond a reason.

As a bird she flies

 Like a seagull soars

And touches the skies.

Enters she

Into a child’s fantasy

Castles made of white

Here’s a bunny

And there, shapes so funny

Breaks she into a laughter light.

Travels thus she, into far off lands

Stretched over rivers and lakes

and with the dawn, every morn

Into a land of dreams she awakes.
