Being A Stranger

for I was a stranger to this world ..

i cared and longed for the things that
never were meant for me here ..

my smile was the only thing
that kept me going in this strange land ..

i kept my foot on a marshy place
just to find out i was sinking within ..

a stranger as i was all my life to this
i found nobody beautiful and worth a smile ..

a helping hand is sometimes all we need
and when we reach the safe place ..

we forget this guy ..
the stranger forever ..

for I was a stranger to this world ..

Blurred world ..

Sometimes in a clear night
When everything is still
There is a wobble, a shiver
That the moon appears to have ..

The stars that arrange themselves
In all possible orientations
Somehow tend to lose symmetry
And they wobble, enlarge and contract...

Sometimes as we look up into
The dark night full of stars
We search, something, so hard
And find nothing more than the twinkling...

And sometimes when we see
The wobbling, the shivering of
This otherwise still moon ... Its nothing..
But a tear in our own eyes that just appeared...
