Have you ever...

Have u ever been in that situation when everything that could possibly go wrong does indeed go wrong? To see your dreams shattered in front of your very own eyes…like a piece of fragile glass??? It could be anything -the loss of a loved one, heartbreak, financial loss, failure in exams, not getting into the career u dreamt of right from the time you were a child…perhaps the list is endless…

What does one do then? Filled with anger, sadness and regret…u try to deny those feelings, think it’s a nightmare but it doesn’t go away – it is as real as the blood that spills out when u cut your hand… then u blame yourself, you are filled with guilt and remorse…u think if only u had the power to turn back the hands of time…u would have done it differently…u look to the heavens and ask God why did he do this to you??? But there never comes an answer…you are only met by silence…no answers does He give. Then you plead, ask for that one chance…but you well know that your chance has already passed …there are no second chances…what’s been done cannot be undone…then all u can do is wait….Time heals all they say…but do u really have the time to wait that long? And then again does time really heal all the wounds… or does it just make us insensitive to the pain…till u feel it no longer because you have become numb…but the scars persist and its bleeds each time u touch it???
But this moment does pass…salvation does come… in its own time…life goes on and you pick up the pieces...and move on…

Maybe that’s why they call it life….it comes with its ups and downs, sometimes you ride on the crest of the waves and sometimes you end up on the trough…and you find … new strength within yourself…and if u never were in that situation maybe you would never realise how strong you really are…you stand up again, smile and accept all that life has thrown your way…you are bruised but not broken, and a silent, soothing voice inside of you softly says ‘this too shall pass’ …and you know that those around you will help you get through it…

The raindrop

With advent of monsoon, the summer stalls
And from the Heavens, a Raindrop falls

What rapture it brings, the Heavenly Grace
As I rush out to feel those pearls, brush against my face
The surge, that passion, wild and free
Pray, tell me my Beloved....
Doth time stand still, as I dance here with Thee?!

She dances in the Heavens now
Alas! Why did she ever leave...
'Tween Heaven and Earth, if 'twere a tug of war O Lord
Could I win her back with one final heave?

As I stand here cold, wet and melancholy
My entire being yearns, for Her it calls...
And then with the Rain, a Teardrop Falls......
