The Journey IV

A rolling slope of green grass....A shade of the tree near by....a lone tree yet filled with amazing beauty around. I sit...I sit with my legs crouched...my hands around it...my head on it...I lift my head up...and the sky is blue...a clear sky...few clouds..
i see under the hillock...a village...houses...streets...kids...lamps...roofs...anda same constant color all through the place...
i sit there withtthe breeze so still....all i can hear is the slight rustling of the leaves....the passage of the clouds...if they ever made any noise...
i rest my head on my hands....and look down...i see people....i see friends...faces...people...walking up the hill....they walk...they walk to me...walk beside me...away from me...they look at me and they smile... i look back and i have nothing to say....i just look...at each oone of them as they make their way up the hill...
When i then turn my eyes to down the hill...I see them all...I see my family...for they are there...they are standing right there...all nine of them...and all i do...is look....
my gaze going out right to them....as each of theirs is fixed right on me...

Haven't we ruined enough?

Sometimes we are at a loss for words. Let us get in touch with our inner selves.  The inner us which sent thoughts non stop.  the inner us which is silent now.  We often make mankind look bad, forgetting that we are one amongst it.  Does the sun change for you? It probably does, but we are too pessimistic to find out.  This world is a bad place to live in.  But why? The earth and the skies are all the same.  They have not changed. Then why? It is us. We have ruined our lives and the world.  - from the old writings, when i was hurt by seeing what destruction man has caused the beautiful nature

Breaking what I created.

I form the trees as I walk. I form the clouds as I walk. The thick dark clouds, that let no hope pass through when I look above for a sign of positivity, a ray of sun. Everything closed with thick black clouds. It is not even the night. It is the morning. The trees and the clouds covering everything that could have shown me light. It isn’t the world. This is just for me. This is just my world. I see nothing above, the ground beneath. On firm ground, I stand but I wish I weren’t. I wish the ground would suck me into it. But no, it is hard, hard like a rock. Telling me that I have closed this path too for you. You have nowhere to go. I am not opening my doors to you.   The trees loom over me. As they tower and their long branches fall down. I hold to one hoping to swing out of this but I cannot. I am too heavy for myself. My baggage is pulling me down. I cannot even carry myself off the ground. I jump hoping it would be high enough for me to cross over to the other s...

A fulfilling and incomplete love story

You looked at me. I turned you around & pointed. You wanted to give up, I wanted to give in. Yet my heart nudged for I understood better than you. as to why you wanted to give up, as to why she said out & yet wanted you. as to what you had done to cross the hurdles to get to her. I put on a smile, cut the grass ahead, and pushed you to go as she stood by the sun, waiting for you. I encouraged you to run. to run to her, to clear all shadows of doubt, to remove all clouds of confusion, to see the life you could have with her, the one she always wanted, the one you always worked for. As your eyes met hers & locked in gaze, I looked down, once again. The content feeling of a love story that survived yet a lone heart, walking away from the hopes that lied.
