The Mind’s Musings

Engulfed in the fear of the unknown,

Trembling in the fear of the dark.

How was I yesterday and how I am today,

The difference being so stark.

Faith gone astray; mind mired in uncertainty

Blunders committed; I shelter no pity

Things gone bad when all I hoped was good

Cornered alone; I hide under the hood,

It’s when your clarity fades, the reasoning fails

Your heart weeps hard and the soul wails

Does one action ever prove to be the doomsday

Among zillion others that promise a benign way

Struggling amidst rancor and silence

I retrospect sitting on the fence

Life showed me with a clever sleight of hand

That I built my castle of dreams on the sand

I erred! It led me to the newer meanings

Isn’t mistake just another way of doing things?

It’s the struggle to live through one’s mistakes

The struggle to fight till the end and beyond

Answerable only to the inner you;

Endorsing and strengthening the bond

It’s about finding the inner peace;

Inner struggles notwithstanding!

Blow into the wind the cobwebs of the mind

Clear the air and dream the life of your kind

Get on your feet and get running again

You’ll fall again; feel the pain again

If you don’t fall; if you don’t bleed

If you don’t trail, you won’t lead

With the music embrace the din

What is the fun in an one sided win

Hey life! See now! I am the new me!

Longstanding now I’ve to tell thee

Hit me again! I’ll take the blow

But mind you! I’ll never bow!
