Live

This is a storm before

The rain of joy

Your silence will tame

When the smiles burst

Your Tears will dry before

The sun shines

You may be walking

Through summers of past

And Living through

Colours of lost dreams

And Swimming through

The lake of hope

To snatch back all that

Flew past your heart

You gotta fly away from your past

Towards a new destiny

You gotta dream something new

That’s so exciting

You gotta fight for a new dawn in life

To show your courage

As there are some people

Who consider you as a sour loser

Writing you off as a failure

They find joy in mocking and teasing you

But you can leave them speechless

As you walk past them

With the wand of glories

That they could never even dream

Stick to your likes

Build your life around it

You will see your life blooming

With the joy you never experience before

There is a reason for every life

Search for your reason

You will find it

Live

Lonely Stranger

I was returning home

With lot of thoughts in mind

As I walked past the temple

I casually looked at an old abandoned building

Expecting no surprises

As it remained closed for years

Even before, I moved to this locality

Once it was a home to sports and arts club

Now just a reminder of the past

I noticed a voice from inside

I slowed down to see who it is

I looked through the opened windows

I saw a strange old man with long grey beard

Sitting on the floor

With an apple in his hand

He was immersed in his own world

Talking to himself in some strange language

Or rather singing

I wondered who that stranger is

I’ve never seen him before in my locality

I think he may have lost his way

And chose to rest in that unoccupied building

As it has been raining for many days

As I walked past the building

I kept thinking about that old man

I wondered where he did come from!

May be bit curious about the story

Behind a lonely stranger

Even then, he was talking loudly

As if there are many people sitting beside him
