I let the days just pass me by
Too many left without goodbye
I long for voices lost in space;
Their warmth and love, their old embrace.
So much I bury deep inside
A silent war that none confide
The wounds run deep and fear is wide—
I wear a mask yet stand to hide.
When life decides to strike, it will.
It bends the soul but tests the will
Yet through the dark I brace and fight
Still holding hope, awaiting light
And if the past feels out of reach
I pray their hearts remember me
We will smile again
Even all of the bad things keep dancing in our minds
We will cry again
Even all of the good things happened in unbroken line
Today is not a conclusion
A sequel stands beyond
If you have seen a day without sun
Took a glance and realized that no one around
Then some people saw a beautiful rainbow
Clapping their hands when the one they love runs the show
So?
Friends texted us that they're fired
And we stayed with "8 hours a day; we are sick and tired"
Easily got a sumptuous lunch in the restaurant
While they had to bear the brunt
Or we had no idea about what to do
When street-workers got more bonuses while serving you
To-day
It was tiring but constructive
Can we resolve, and turn over a new leaf?
To think how the fire will burn
And how long our eyes will turn?
By the way
All of the coffee shops in the city were closed today
No places for sharing the story with people
But, I met my parents on the dinner table
A thing we used to do long before yesterday
But, again
Today is not a conclusion
A sequel stands beyond
Close it, rain.
I was behind an old man
Walked under a pressure
His white shirt
His wrinkled skin
And the smell of his body
The wind blew gently
Dust flew and patted me
Colorful flowers covered in mist
Around a fallen tree which got a hard fist
The regular and slow movements
Bored me and overtook it with no hesitation
A woman came over
Her eyes winked
Hinted me to keep going on
Bended my hands to meet waist
Woman joined my ways
Restlessness feels uneasy
Rhyming the movement behind me
The old man kept singing
In his silence
Not everyone captured the meaning
But it cut the distance
And created a peace
Which we all missed
Arrived at our destination
Fresh air without pollution
Shady green leaves around
Some beautiful fish in the pond
Made us felt so safe
The whole earth seemed happy opened the door
Seeing a glimmer of hope ahead
The returned of what people missed so bad
The actor met the director
The old man turned around
Accompanied by a warm smile
I saw his eyes
So calm
Wet the skin of his arm
By the tears I dropped
