Distraught...


A perfectly beautiful and fulfilling day at work was marred by the wails of our mother earth. It got smeared by the blood of those innocents; the innocents who died an unjust death in front of the house of justice. 

The ones who departed, the time was not on their side. They became the chosen one and before any body realised, the were suddenly gone. 

The uncertainty disturbs me and flashes a chilling streak of fear across my spine. When would certainty become the fate of life? When would peace prevail without any fear?

As I search the answers to these questions, many more pop up in my distraught mind. But finding an answer, it seems,is going to take a very long time. Before I drown in the whirlpool of these ever increasing questions,I want to do something that may bring me some peace. 

So I close my eyes,bow down my crown; With full faith, I urge myself to pray for those who are gone. May your souls rest in peace. My dear Mother Earth please do not weep. 

The events of the day gone by, made so many mortals cry. How long would all of us weep? What if our empathy just dries? 

Yes! I am distraught! Can someone just come by...give me a hug...and assure me that it's going to be alright. 

I really need that hug. 

Can someone just come, give me a hug and tell me it's going to be alright?

Dawn...



As the pages bid adieu, saying that the story has come to an end...
My head falls on the pillow; my day has come to an end...

But before my eyes close...
And before I fall into the realm of sleep...

I see a streak of light...
And the light beckons me...

Its warmth caresses me...cajoles me...
It's as if the light is speaking with me...

"I am the first light of the day, how can you sleep & ignore me ?   
I am the dawn, the day emanates from me...

How wise is it to turn your day upside down?
When it is time to charge up, you are ready to lie down".

I face the warm light with a smile & a sigh...
I want it to know, that's not usually how I live life...

It's a new phase of my life...
And I am loving it with each moment that is passing by...

My lambent dawn...
Do not get disheartened, do not feel wrong...

I soak in your first rays...
Preserve them, as I pass into the slumber phase of my days...

I want you to know that...your warmth stays with me...
And when I wake up, it happily greets me...

"As if it whispers- Welcome back my dear...
So long you've been gone...
But now that you're here...let me sing a song...

You have a great day ahead...
And I'll meet you, once again at dawn".
