Lone lover, and the stillness

Aah!! I came out, at last,

Now who is this “I”, I don’t know

The one who is just still, lying

Or the other one, who is watching the carcass

One “me” was lying on the dune,

Other “me” sitting, starring at it,

Trying to figure out what happened

Where did they both went wrong

On the top of the sand dune;

No life around for a hundred miles.

My spirit; just talking to my body

Not pity, but sad that “a truth just went unheard”

I tried to get back in, a lot,

Wanted, as if to live some moments, alone

But that I guess, is too much for me

So, accepted the defeat, and prepared to free

Sand dunes, yes that’s the name of their stillness

Death, yes the long cherished feelings are dead

I named it my world someday, desire still to live

“He is dead !!”, babbled a few

And my soul answered…. “Nah, It’s a new Life, a new Game”

I want life; I want moments in ‘em

I saw the river, the one near my cottage
seems the same from years, and for years to come
Since when is it flowing, gusting as if from ages?
no one knows, no one asked her I guess

So I chose to ask her, lets unveil this secret too
near the night, a twilight I chose
Like life, Nature’s life too should have secrets to tell,
what needed is just a vigor to know

Why do you look the same? Why don’t you alter your way?
So stagnant, near motionless, seems life going astray
Reply that the river gave, so simple, so sacred yet sublime

“I seem calm, but the waters never the same,
I seem stagnant, But the lives in me as not
How can a life be called going astray when it’s giving life to many”
I learnt a lesson, a lesson worth telling…

Never let the spirit go waste, never let the flame faint
Its only one life we have, we live, we earn
Be patient, willing to learn a new lesson
Bad days are just bad teachers after all

Like the wind that flows without halt
the river touching the lands untouched
Like the days that fill ever moment in time
Life has to Learn on and on...
