Poetic Words

I sink into a silent retreat
Looking for a place to hide
I watch my tired running feet
As life becomes one tough ride.
The silence it coldly greets me
Welcoming me with an open arm
Making me see things I should see
Hoping to keep me away from harm.
Silence offers a cold , frozen comfort
Chilling me to my very bone
Shielding [...]

In the horizon at a distance I see a glowing star
I tried to reach for it but it kept moving far…
A useless chase that followed brought me no joy
For the star that seemed so near played me for a toy.
It would taunt and come closer making me believe
I could touch it someday if I [...]

I wish my mind was a blank paper
One on which I could paint afresh
I would fill it up with so much color

Speaking of many stories untold.
A tear as it rolls down your cheeks
Seem to say that sadness is at its peak
The deep breath you take in as a sigh
Seemed to question God as to why
You [...]

The sun as it sets in the horizon
I contemplate the change of seasons
Where do I go ahead now from here
Leaving the ones who are close and dear
Heartless I am as I gave my heart to you
Counted you far above the special few
Made a big place for you in my life
A life that was so [...]

As my drifting thoughts flow free
I discover a peace so deep within me
The turbulence of thoughts quietening
In me giving rise to an awakening.
I take my life in my own hands
Making my decisions taking my stands
For thats all I have control over
And thats how it will be forever.
So here I am in the here and [...]
