Thoughts & Reflections

There are words and songs that have remained unsaid and unsung for a time. If I have to say and sing them it has got to be now for tomorrow may be too late. They are born out of my life’s varied experiences. I love, I hate, I curse, I daydream, I philosophize, I lust, I rejoice, I hurt, I pray… Many of them are imaginary, products of some rumblings in my restless and turbulent mind. But just as many are real-life experiences, some so painful and traumatic that the process of writing them down was sheer agony, while some are light and happy ones they came quite so easily. They may be out of rhyme, twisted like branches reaching out for the light. And, I suspect, there may be a million other ways of expressing them with far better results. But it doesn’t really matter. Words are meaningless until they are said and heard and a song ceases to be a song until it is finally sung. I say and sing because I feel. I feel because I am.
