My Awakened Heart

The light breeze brushes my hair Instilling in me, some peace, even if Somehow, that soothing calm shall give way To hurricanes and typhoons, as it usually does, For life is made to be such! But the light breeze, while it brushes my hair, Ruffles through the many folds of my being And jolts my heart to a waking state! Enough, shouts it, you have dozed for a decade Let my sight guide you towards your awakening Let my essence immerse you in its gleam Let my beauty reciprocally appreciate your lustre! Pray, shaken up, I frown at my surroundings While trying to catch the breeze in my hands So as to stop it from waking up my heart But, it was too late, It was impossible a task As, I could feel it happening, Even if the moon is nowhere to be seen Even if thick clouds hide the stars And sleepy seem to be the firmament Sleepy and uncaring about my whole transformation! Aroused, my heart stops beating for a while Before it starts reciting to me, words of romantic poetry Words, so elevating and rhythmic that I turn them into songs Songs, so powerful that they got caught on by angels To be played in the realms of the other worlds! After a while, my heart, still so excited, Starts beating so fast that I feel breathless, Why, it shouts, why did you push me to sleep Can't you see how much time I have lost? This world is meant to be enjoyed while my stay Upon its soils does last Now, I do have loads to catch up to! Then, the beats stabilize to a stable pace As, my heart becomes conscious of the many ills Inhabiting the world Saddened, it chooses to strengthen itself with helping hands And bids me, to share there where I could The compassion that it is made of! Why, my heart has been awakened, Life cannot be escaped By pretending that it does not be Or by losing ourselves in dream bubbles Life is to be lived Accompanied by an awakened heart Such a one, which remains our driving force!
