Witnessing the Beauty – A Poem

this road-
detour and tough!
tough row to hoe!
sun about to set
at the end of the day
a faint glimmer!
twilight! as they say!
wind blowing fiercely
agitating the leaves of a tree
the tree-
standing there,
tall and strong!
unflinching!
my fortitude! surely a tree!
and there it is-
sunset! the sky!
so dim! my life!
but surely for a fleeting time
dim, yet so beautiful!
like the sunset,
as they say!
end, yet a beginning!
like the years-
the same years
that we leave behind us,
and celebrate the new ones!
end!
end of some dreams,
but the beginning of a new hope!
I am waiting-
waiting, for the sun to rise!
like those hills!
for after every sunset,
there comes a new sunrise!
I am waiting-
all alone!
astonished!
by the beauty of nature!
the beauty of life!
but for now,
let me not waste-
waste my time!
to tell you
how beautiful you are!
for dear sunset,
you are as beautiful
as the sunrise!
and I will be waiting-
waiting, for you!
as desperately as
I wait for the sun to rise!
to witness the beauty-
the beauty of nature!
the beauty of life!

Remembering!

The letter written below is for my mama (maternal uncle, the youngest brother of my mom) whom we lost recently due to alcoholic cirrhosis.

A Lot More – A Poem

you asked me
if I was fine

but what would you’ve done
if I was not?

things going on inside my head
like a bat out of hell

which makes me sometimes
an unfeeling swine

but I chose to keep
my mouth shut

even though I had
a lot to tell

you think
you know me well

but there is so much
inside of me

a lot more I could never tell!

a lot more you could never see!

Bring Me Back Down to Earth – A Poem

With a glimmer of hope, here I stand
But I cannot fathom out.
Is it beyond the realms of possibility?
With a glimmer of hope, here I stand
Will things go as I planned?
Will time get better? I doubt.
Do I have the ability?
With a glimmer of hope!
