Free fall

Falling freely from a height

With the wings of dreams cut off

And the eyes filled with tears

Yet they are rooted to the top

Saying to the heart,i will climb again

Every step i lost with this fall

Every fall remainds one thing

Its not the end of the world

There is still so many steps to climb

One door may have closed

But still there are doors awaiting

to be found out

Thinking different is the way out

When one plan bombs

It shows its not worth trying again

its about striping out the flaws

With a different perspective

The pain of fall is the best medicine

To energise the heart to climb again

The every single step with determination

Not to fall again.

Never to let anyone push you down

Its about the dreams,

its about the will of a life time

To be able to claw back

From the brink of tears of loss

To the very smile of success

Once the steps are conquered again.

Five Months

Five months, a journey of sorts

From a death to another death

Two souls left the nest

Leaving other three in a state of sorrow

It took months to recover from the first loss

But, fate took them back to the native place

Mourning again with sympathies all around

The year started with a new promise

Just to see the worst nightmare

With just four days in to the year

Now when it seemed life is back on track

Thunder strike with fervour

Now feelings are lost just like a frozen lake

There are no prayers left in the minds

Many memories and many unfulfilled dreams

Words are there with condolence

But all that they need is some peace

To move away from the haunting place

Wherever they turn, it is the absence

That strikes in minds

It may take another five months

To embark on a new life

Adjusting to the new needs and aspirations

In the ever absence of loved ones

On every new step, there will be remembrance

If they were alive, they would have appreciated

Or would have stopped

But, that’s the way life moves on

One can only wish, but can’t stop destiny.
