Guiding Us Through...

Life, can tear and break,

Hearts will ache and shake...

Ones we adore, slip away,

With fading memories that stay..

Unjust how the years unfold,

Empty hands, hearts turned cold...

Light once bright, dimmed and lost,

We pay the price, at all cost..

In silence, as we stand alone,

In shadow of the life we've known..

World moves on, yet we grieve,

For all the dreams, we can't retrieve...

Pain inevitable, it will tear apart,

But a memory lives within the heart..

That even in the darkest night,

Remains, a steady light..

We long to speak, to feel them near,

To whisper all we wish they'd hear..

That in the dark, know it's true,

Their light still shines,

--

And Unheard..

Bangalore,

After as..

Years so many..

Roads,

Same as..

But no travelers..

Here, maybe,

Near, maybe..

One word,

Is all I prayed..

--

Life..

Life and Death,

Are not choices..

Breaths and Beats,

Are not options..

We choose,

The in between..

We lose only,

The precious..

--

In Silence, Aloud..

One day, when,

We cross paths..

One day, when,

We see each other..

Even if from,

A distance..

Far, so far,

Barely visible..

I know, I will,

Find you..

Will you too?

Or will you look away..

I have a world,

Of words inside..

So much,

They weigh on me..

Though, I'm not worth,

Any of your time..

Not now, more than ever,

But some words, do echo..

--

This Year Again..

I'm so proud of all you've done,

In that presentation, you truly shone..

I wanted to reach out, to say it clear,

Your hard work and strength deserve a cheer..

Diwali lights, bright and new,

I'd wish you joy if I could too..

Though words now fade, know in my heart,

I'm proud of you, even though we're apart..

Remembering, that rangoli,

From that first time..

May all those dreams come true..
