Twilight

She was clouded in the ambivalence of the unknowns

She ran from watchful eyes n' got trapped in the shadows

She struggled to find tears when she wanted to cry

She was filled with tropes of emptiness that set her dry

Till love found her when fading hope shattered her will

And -

She rose like a phoenix from her own ash fill

She faced life's trials, scathed yet strong

She led through the darkest nights, awaiting the dawn

She searched for transcendence in all her quests

She mused over her past and her vacant pursuits

The twilight in her life blossomed her spark

As it eclipsed the cusp of light and dark

She set herself free from the captivity of her past

With her new found freedom, she found out what she'd lost 

Embalmed with love, enthralled in mystic bliss

She glowed as she sang her own twilight twist!

Stay Afloat! Stay Ashore!

when the ripples come alive with each stroke n' wonder

how in the yonder, the sea n' sky embrace each other

when the soft hues of sunset, replenished by night

uphold the pristine waxing n' waning moonlight

when the only source of light away, shimmers

illuminating everything as it saunters

Stay afloat! Stay ashore!

 

when shadowless waters, brim with froth

adrift as a soul in peril n' appear lost

when dark cloudy storms bellow, with no escape

stumbling through waves in a shrouded haze

when rustling breeze bounce over the streams

n'then disappear like a silent dream

Stay afloat! Stay ashore!

if you don't brave the storm, don't tackle it by horn

you won't survive the tide, you will be gone

so ride the waves, take the plunge

for life's a flow n' its true

hang in there, be it high or low,

for this is what you got to do

Stay afloat! Stay ashore!
