Cherish innocence while it lasts

Cherish innocence while it lasts

For it never comes back

Sooner or later everyone grows

While few grow wise, most grow blind

Either ways, seldom does then one chase butterflies

Or wonder why sky is so high

Count stars or chase shadows

Believe in fairytales and let its magic unveil

Irony it is that one can gather

These words only with regrets

For it shall make no sense to a child

Not until the ignorance is lost

trial on free writing

There was a time 

I used to believe in greater destiny 

To be a blessed few

Who can see things 

Wee bit more clearly 

More evolved, more ordained

To unravel the mysteries of universe

Pity those who live their lives

Wretched in vanity, struggling, competing

Also those carefree and oblivious 

Slackened and slumbering 

as if nothing ever matters

The happy and sad, the merry and mad

It took me a while to realize 

I am no different 

I am merely wired to wonder 

There are million vagaries of perception

but they are seldom stacked ascending

with one more superior, more ordained than other

they instead lie stacked, in a chaotic mess

converging, diverging and at times merging

but none really transcending

towards that purported greater truth

Some wonder, others do not 

Some learn to accept, others to dissect 

Some to fight other to fall in line

Some are followed revered

Others are stoned and crucified

Some die, other raise from the crucifix

Yet they are all just one among the million 

 

Keep your cup just half full
For you wont dare to share
If your cup is all empty
And you wont care to share
if your cup is full to the brim

lost

We are people lost in the woods
Everyday we tread unknown paths
Follow cues and tracks
Left by those who were there before
those who knew the way
Unknowingly though, we leave our tracks behind.....
