Aadat- Revisited

 

I had once wondered,

When I knew naivety-

How could one song,

Define an entire life for me.

 

You, my friend, would have told me,

But must have let it be.

That the song, now forgotten,

Was birthed and shaped by me.

 

In this part of the universe,

Wretched spineless beings,

Guised as mortal humans,

Sneak into our scenes.

 

Those that I have smothered,

With this one that I almost own,

Must have developed some vertebrae,

Below their heads, there- all the way down.

 

I still find it hard to believe,

Concluding needs the same old words.

Let it just be, leeches don’t change,

But never forget, never does HE.

Shaken hopes

 

Words have been scarce,

And elusive has been chance.

Issues remain! fine.

The world, forever, short on time.

Bliss is not always a pursuit,

Savor it when you can- simply put.

The demons in your head,

Won’t be fought by others instead.

The night is the darkest, just before dawn,

When light strikes, choose to be reborn.

If Impossible seems the plan,

Do not get cranked.

Life has been simple- always,

Soak in the moment, with grace.

Gratitude for what is, what has been,

Will anchor hope for days unseen.
