A Miracle called Life !!

Life in all its uncertainties, 

Left me perplexed…

From the time we are born, 

To the time we gain our senses, 

From the time we go heretic, 

To the time we start making some sense, 

Life shows all its colours, 

And blends us in its wonders. 

How can I lose hope ?

How can I just give in ?

How can I not see the obvious ?

How can I miss the miracles of each day ?

The questions in my mind grow loud and clear, 

Life is waiting for me to pick up and start from where I left it. 

I see, I wonder and ponder over my thoughts, 

And then I murmur to myself, 

‘Wait, let me give this another shot,

Let me start over again.’

I start seeing miracles all around me, 

I feel Him talking to me, whispering in my ear, 

“It’s not time to give up yet, 

Life has more to offer.”

Then at times, 

I see my loved ones in pain, 

I see them suffer.

I question Him, “is this what life is all about?”

He smiles at me and answers, “Life is more than our adversity,”

“It’s more than the ‘we’, 

Grow in all its glory, thrive in all its wonders, 

As life in all its entities is much more than what meets the eye.”

“See the miracles around you, 

When someone smiles at you, 

When you go through pain, 

When you feel lonely, 

When you stand dejected and disappointed by your own, 

Know that you are not alone in this,

Know that there are miracles all around you, 

Waiting to pick you and lift you up from your nadir.”

It waits for us to see, 

It holds for us to take the first step. 

So, get up and walk towards it, 

Before it walks away from you forever!

Drifting Feeling

That twitch in the heart, 

That feeling of near ecstasy, 

Leaves one so close to him, 

Yet so distant. 

Of the life lived, 

Of the life desired, 

The feelings are so mixed up, 

As if juggling with uncertainty. 

He promises a better tomorrow, 

He promises all things lost, 

How do I give in ? 

How do I resist ? 

Life was never easy, 

It never promises to be, 

The pain that it leaves behind every moment, 

A life which was so full, 

Yet so incomplete. 

Now the flicker of hope, 

The feeling of near complete. 

Leaves me thinking, 

Will this stay ? 

Will it survive the day ? 

And then the night is sure to come, 

But can it stay for long ? 

If only I could make it linger, 

If only I could hold the thought, 

If only I knew a way, 

Things would be different. 

Far from a distance he calls, 

Looks promising you know ! 

But can I take the step ? 

Can I indulge in this moment ? 

I do know that he will hold, 

I do know he is here to stay, 

But can I take this step ?

Can I indulge in this beautiful moment ? 

I think to myself, 

This is what I always wanted, 

This is what I longed for. 

But that sparkle in his eyes, 

Makes me ponder, 

Can I take this step ? 

Can I hold onto this moment forever ?
