Dancing Skies
Sometimes its obvious
The death of all feeling
I count the days to say it aloud
I close my ears when I think I hear you say
The skies have danced for quite a while
Changing costumes, putting up a display
I begin to see the pattern
Accepting games the mind plays
Thoughts of letting go
Prey to my own
Searching for the real
Holding the false so dear
When did I begin to close it
Why accept it now
I shut it all out
As you shout my worst fears out
Fading .. Fading
Until it is all perfect .. yet again
A long day and a pretty one
A long day and a pretty one
Of threads on black
and rides in the sun
Its late in the night
Figuring out the lines
Of 3-D images and brand new names
Glowy faces, I wish we never had to sleep
A long day and a pretty one
Of Coffee and tea
And a beautiful life
Top secrets that were told
Gossip that passed around
A long day and a pretty one
Of some talk and harmless fun
Cultural redtape
A feeling that appears with adamant ferocity and just as easily vanishes without a trace.
Yesterday evening I overheard a group of girls basking in the ‘luck’ they have been blessed with – education. After all, even in this day the girl child from under developed regions of the world isn’t send to school.
That annoyed me, just to think that we smug in what little is “decided” for us.
Even in scenarios where the bigger picture is not involved, every person has to cut through the multiple personalities that are conjured in the minds of the people they meet. Personalities based not on who we are or what we do, but based on where we come from, what religion we belong to …
Progress, free thought and deviation from the known has to almost always put up with red tape : cultural, emotional and social.
Snowy humid
lost in words
lost for words
lost for feeling
lost in the landscape
lost in loneliness
lost in thought
lost in happiness
lost because I believed
lost because its false
lost as I loved
lost for lack of
lost in hope
lost with anger
lost in this search
lost yet again
lost in confusion
and scared to tell
.. say it again
make me believe
