Turning The Lights Off ..

One fine day, when I decided to sleep a little longer than usual ..
One day when I decided that I would take a little more time, something
strange happened ..
I lost those hours .. those precious hours of life ..

It happens sometimes that we wish for some things to happen .. and we
pray each day that one day we'll get what we long for ... But
sometimes we wait a little too much .. and sometimes a little too
early ..
We're not sure when it would happen, where and how it would take place
.. but yes, all we know is that it will happen .. and it does happen
.. and then the only thing that remains between us and this one big
opportunity, is our second thoughts ...

Second thoughts about 'what if', Second thoughts about 'when', Second
thoughts about 'what else' ..

In the process we miss out .. we lose this war .. that we've been
battling deep within ourselves .. with our own conscience .. and this
is where we are torn apart .. this is where we are broken .. silenced by our own self..

It's not that He doesn't listen to us .. It's just that He gives at
the time when He thinks its best ... and we the takers, don't have
hands large enough to take what is being offered when it finally happens...

We try to turn off the lights in our lives in downcast... not knowing our prayers
have an impact greater than we can ever imagine .. for He works in
mysterious ways.. He rekindles all the alleys that once belonged to
darkness .. Divine as always ..

Let all my joy, whatever little i have, be theirs ... Let all their
pain be mine ...
I Pray ..
