Echoes in the Shadows

Gazing up at the dark and grey sky, While Sparkling drizzles adorn the earth, Calmness filling up as time goes by, And the drops trickle down the hearth. I settled down to cherish the serene blues, Engaged deeply in its scenic imagery, Which brings back the echoes and views, Of my tender and dreamy childhood memory. Several scenes vividly playing through my mind, And various conversations echoing inside, Leaving me restless with a whole new find, Urging me desperately to travel back and confide. If only I could go back in time, Yearning to meet my younger self once more, For it's not a sinful fault or malicious crime, I would teach her many things in store. First, I would delicately take her in my embrace, And softly stroke the strands of her hair, Assuring her that she made it through the chase, Not giving up even in her darkest despair. I would shower her with a treasure of rewards, For being kind and helpful to others around her, Also telling her not to forget the regards, And to be kind to herself despite any blur. I would take her to mountains and rivers, For they could make an inseparable bond together, As they stand by her in the toughest quivers, And would support and befriend her forever. I would describe to her the profound joy, Of achieving her precious visions and dreams, The deepest connections woven in her heart's ploy, While reaching for those priceless fantasies. I would prepare her to face the worst, While trying to be brave and consistent, Throughout her valuable self-exploration quest, And would teach her to be strong and confident. I would teach her the essence of euphoria, In every small and tender delight, From the warmth of those close to her aura, That would ease her pain and make things right. At times when people would disown her, Judging her efforts and attempts, I would teach her to trust herself and persevere, To move on and achieve her greatest triumphs. When life seems tough with each passing second, I would ask her to remember my guidance, That would keep her going till the end, Without too many regrets and hindrances. If only I could go back in time, Wishing to make her stronger than ever, For it's not a sinful fault or malicious crime, That would help her surpass her struggles forever.
