Wanderers

There are some who wander in the lonely dust,
Some others in an unknown place;
Some wander to achieve an aim,
While some to escape the rain.

A maze - it is
With innumerable inlets;
Once you enter,
There is no going back.

Wonder why we wander,
Traversing paths known and unknown;
Meeting people on the way,
Who, at the next turn, leave you alone.

Not wanting to have some rest,
And make the best of our own nest;
Wandering, wandering, wandering around,
We spend this life grovelling on the ground.

When things go awry

Where ever I see,
Looks dark;

Which ever star I aim at,
Falls apart;

Whatever I touch,
Turns to ashes;

Whatever I say,
Has backlashes;

Whatever path I tread,
Has a dead end;

And
Whenever I try to mend
The issues bend,
Just to take a turn,
And come back with a bang.


Waiting for Sunshine

Source of energy
That drives us all
Gives us light
And makes our lives bright.
And we all
Bow down
To this majestic source.

However,
It does not shine
Upon all
At the same time.
Some are lucky enough
To enjoy the
Pure and Inspiring dawn
Earlier
Than others;
Who rejoice at the
Thought of their friends
Basking in the sunshine
And look at the clouds looming ahead
Waiting for them to dispel.

And here I stand
With my eyes fixed
At the sky
To see the rainbow
As the sun comes out
To clear off the rains and clouds.

Inspirational Flight of a Bird

Seeing a young bird
That just came out of its nest;
Leaving the cozy life behind
It prepares for the struggle ahead.

Fierce winds, strong winds,
Toss the bird here and there,
Changing its path everytime it flies,
Makes the bird nervous and it - subsides.

The birdie might lose heart
And stop trying all that hard,
Give it up after all those blows
And just grovel in the lows.

But the birdie might decide
To fight,
And carve its own flight.

The birdie might act strong;
Move with the winds when they follow the norm,
Face the winds when they oppose,
But soaring high all the way it goes.

I rever this bird that comes out as a champion;
Intend to learn from it and gain some momentum;
Hope to be as brave and courageous,
In pursuing till the last moment - my dream.

All is Not Lost
