Towards the Horizon

Towards the Horizon Sitting in a corner, absorbing the incandescent hue, A malt for company, awaiting a magical cue, I often wonder, all these years, where were you? I reflect upon the days which could have been, I reminiscent our childhood, sans together we were weaned. Envisioning moments which could have been memories, But alas, nowhere to be seen. We may have traversed different paths, We may have stood on different grounds, But alas the fate, Who can dissuade the cosmic rays, The divine intervention, the vibrational play! So, Let you not forget the pains of the past, The needles, the barbs- to contend, the perceptions bend. With steely resolve & grit that transcends. Let you not forget a moment -the path, the way. Which brought you here this day. There’re still miles to go -on this ever meandering, challenging path. But do Dream in the daylight hours, burn the midnight oil, & You will shoot again, as a sapling does from the soil! From amongst the clouded black sky, Appears a streak of light so bright. From amongst the burnt grey ashes, The amber glows & spread light. Our darkest hours define thy mettle, And you have proven time & again, you are no damn brittle. When one is pinned against the wall, When one is pushed to the limits, When the sun fades you down, When the tears turn into trickles, Let that realm of life, be the story of past, Lest, life has a fight again, gore & bloody till the last! So, this moment, let’s take a pledge Positive perspectives, not nearing the edge. Let’s paint a rosy picture, With whiffs of Vervain & soothing nectar. Over the hills, where the sky is blue, Sun shines bright, spreading a golden lowe, In the trickle down the creek, where water takes a crystal hue. Such a paradise, for you, I invoke! I wish you keep stepping out from the old to the new. I wish you keep embracing the novel within. I wish thy soul, long suppressed finds awakening. Into that land of desires, may you find fulfilment. Let me take you to a world beneath the clouds, A world without sorrow & unending love. Were hope ascents, drenched from the first rays of the sun. Darkness disappears basking the moonlit radiance. Into that land of peace, may you find solace. Uff… too much melodrama, what you say? Let’s take it to a lighter vein As I hope to make some gain. So, here’s my list of return gifts, Pies, roasts, JD and some tit bits. No more excuses will I take, Now or never can I say?
