A Quest on Overdrive … :)

An eccentric rambler on life's lessons and mercies, found and lost… :)

Life, Again…

20 Comments

Into the well of silence
Flows our unspoken,
But deeply felt dreams;

The day you stepped
Right into my life-

(And broke down
the defences,
Constructed painfully
Through years and years
Of Banging my head-
Against the Wall of Life)

You left me open
And vulnerable again,
To Emotion-

I was lost.

The suddenness of
A cold cold stinging shower,
And here I am
Awakened to Life.

I find the silence
Again,
From the Screaming
Emptiness of Loneliness…

Life sprouted again,
Fed by the dreams,
Infused by your strength,
Your relentless tenderness,
And lifted by your
Buoyant, uplifting
Cloak of Love-

And so,
I find
Life,

Again.

  9. I find it very odd now, when someone says that his/her life is dependent on someone else…I don’t mean to say, I don’t remember the days when I would spend my days in utter hopelessness….but somehow seem to have outlived it all…and now its become my habit to mock at people who talk of romantic love! …and I get my share for that!! :)nice writing anyway, Usha :)wishes, devika
