When Silence Speaks...

I sit on the shore of the sea I feel the waves washing my feet I watch the sun turning red as it sets I hear the music of the humming breeze Crying for the ones who aren’t beside me I spent the day thinking of tomorrow Now as I sit here watching the sun set I realize what I have gained and lost The beauty of this shore just increases As the sun sets and the moon rises As the water glitters under the moonlight And my face reflects the twinkling stars I lost beautiful seconds of life Cribbing about things I can’t do anything about But these moments here, I rejoice As I smile to my shadow on the shore! (14 Oct 09- Just like that – on this gloomy morning….as I pen down my thoughts after long timeJ)

Drops of rain fell from the dark cloud I wanted to get drenched in the rain and dance and play and swirl around But I could'nt for Mom scolded aloud Different colors of marbles spread around boys of the colony were getting together I wanted to join them and play but then it wasn't a girly thing on ground I sang aloud under the showers with broken lyrics and tune The next moment i heard a knock My roommate told don't disturb others I felt like having a cup of tea at 2:00 AM in the morning when I was awake watching a match and my friend called out "it's not time for tea" the drizzles and the colors of the marbles the tea and the singing shower will be mine now forever as I go on to choose my life - living it my way....

I was told to crawl when I wanted to walk I was told to walk when I wanted to run I was told to run when I wanted to fly And then I was told to stop for I could not fly !!! I did as I was told.. for that was the rule of yours I was told “That was how we grew and so are you to be” I stopped and looked back for what did I do all the while All I could see was someone else’s foot print behind me ... I want to live now.. the way I want life to be I want to fly for running isn’t my way I do not care anymore for the way you tell me And I will fly for some day you will follow me.
