In that dark night, Where the moon decided to hide behind the clouds, Where the sky couldn't hold its tears and the broken earth's emotions had overflowed, She could feel dampness on her feet, The cold air found its hands to strangle her, She couldn't breathe, It felt like her legs were giving up, Soon drowning in the mud, She won't be visible to anyone.
So, she tried and God knows she tried, To pick herself up and to keep walking, Covering her ears, she kept her eyes wide opened, To protect herself from hungryhowling wolves, Who were waiting for the perfect time to pounce, She gathered every piece of her, And ran for the life.
That's when she saw the tunnel, And at the end of it, she could see a stunning star, Resembling all the lights that she had ever seen in her lifetime, But, when she tried to reach for it, Keeping her hopes high with a twinkle in her eyes, She realised that it was just a mirage, So she vanished into the thin air, As if she was just a dust in an enormous galaxy. -JMJ
It was so wonderful to have you in my hands, That I jumped in excitement like a kid, I hugged and praised all your colourful features, And my heart swelled with pride because I knew that you belonged to me. When the wind came, you started to flutter, And I knew that you wanted to fly high in the sky, So, I carefully chose the string to tie it with you, Then ran towards the highest peak that I ever knew.
I looked for the wind directions to help you with your flight, And slowly detached myself from you for your wish to come true, When I saw your happiness I had to cut the string that attached you with me, To let you go,to see you roam freely. But, when the wind settles and you find that there is not even a breeze, To keep you motivated with your flight, Find your way back home, And I will be waiting with the perfect string to launch you back in the sky. -JMJ
Please leave your comments on the post as I would really love to read them.
Last night I saw you on my way, Talking to someone and walking away, I saw you were all smiling and happy with your life, While you made me to think all about my life. Last night I saw you turned to look at me, And your helpless eyes spoke to me, I felt a twitch in my heart as I saw the sea infront of you, Were you happy for yourself or for someone that you knew? Last night I saw that you were saying goodbye, While wind whispered in my ears all the secrets of your eye, In that cold dark night I saw your tears coming through, Last night I think I dreamt of you. -JMJ
As years pass by, I wonder if would ever see anyone to whom I said goodbye, All my friends from my childhood, And the people who lived in my neighborhood.
The teachers who taught me the right from wrong, My first crush with whom I never got along, The people who encouraged me to dance and paint, The grandma next door who told the story of a saint.
As years pass by, I wonder to how many people I have said goodbye, The people who once I thought that I could not live without, Now, sometimes I think what was that about?
As years pass by, I wonder how fast the time flies by, If I could ever walk back my life, I would never miss a chance to say a proper goodbye even though we had a strife. -JMJ
