Miscellaneous

I’m here.

Mostly breathing,

Sometimes sinking.

Drowning?

The mist of hope is gone

The throbbing I once felt is back

Its black

And sinister

But unfurls itself in the most bewitching patterns and shades of brown

Humanity has left:

Again.

Where am I?

Somewhere we all got lost

In finding each other,

Hoping for something better.

Is this where we arrived?

It can’t be the destination.

This is far from the ‘Happily Ever After’ I dreamt of

while making paper boats in the rain.

I crave the light

But don’t we all?

Aren’t we one

In this world of differences

Sometimes falling, mostly soaring.

The slightest push

Changes a million directions.

Grab the rope,

Cling for your life,

Wake up.

This is your time to shine.

We might detest the climb,

Meet people,

Lose them,

And carry on.

But isn’t it true

That the best people stay only for a while

Leave a message,

And break the line.

It’s up to us now

To descent from here,

Or walk the path

And lead the tribe.
