Mists of Change


The doctrines of life appalled her beliefs
people mentalities flabbergasted her mind
she was inundated by the absurd realities
overwhelmed, she almost conceded defeat
but it was her soul that refused to give-in
even when she was engulfed with uncertainty
and urged her to keep walking on n' on
she stopped only when she was amidst the mists
and felt the gusty winds guide her in a direction
that would change her life forever..!! 

The mists forced her to relook at her life, and
she did so diligently with an unbiased mind
as the mists paved way for evidential clarity
she saw the glowing colors of the meadows
the dainty hues n' crimson that adorned the sky
she felt enamoured with the dawn, dusk n' twilight
that unleashed their magic with all their prowess
no matter what the seasons of nature were
she saw the brook that rushed into the river
and the river that merged into the sea
demonstrating to her how one's past seamlessly
becomes the present and the present, future
when one knows on which path you're headed
the blooming spirit of life resurged within her  
with renewed vim n' vigor giving her soul
a feisty sense of freedom that refused to be caged
with the trials of life; at last she felt grounded
brave n' courageous enough to decide to live
her life on her terms n' not the other way around..!!

It took the mists of change to rekindle life in her
and give her a purpose for living n' moving on
setting the trapped woman within her free
she, now, knew exactly what she had to do,
to enrich n’ live the rest of her life with love
wisdom, intellect n' grace like never before..!!

Sunset of her Life

As she walked towards the sunset of her life
her life reeled before her from the time
she had her senses in place, to comprehend
the finer nuances of life n' its mysteries
that regaled her initially n' then amused her
with it's reality that seemed less whimsical
n' more daunting as moments n' years passed by!

Her life that once seemed bright n' colorful
with the radiance of joy n' energy, exuberated
by the innocence of having been a child
followed by the enthusiasm of the youth
but as mid-life seeped in, it usurped em all
with the verve diminishing as the absurdity
of the real life finally seeped within her!

She realised the farceness of the world
she lived in n' the people who surrounded her
her mind, spirit n' soul after years of conflict
had now become ONE after sifting from life
the unreal, surreal, ethereal n' real;
with grace in her heart, she accepted em all, and
elegantly walked towards the sunset of her life!

Destiny

What is destiny?
A pre-ordained diktat
of each one of our lives
written by the almighty
when we are born?
or
the result of actions
n' deeds done by us
in our everyday lives
when we live?
those who believe in the former
blame it for every outcome
when things go against their will
those who believe in the latter
know what needs to be done
n' feel familiar with the drill
it is better to not get embroiled
in this enmeshed world of destiny
n' live our lives ignorant of it
with grace, fortitude n' serenity!

Grace

Traversing on a new path,
My good Lord!
I do not know -
whether I am right or wrong
With a silent prayer in heart,
I pray to you thy highness...
Grace me with kindness
and show me the LIGHT!!
