MELANGE

well...on my second day of blogging, i'll just put up a poem for which i was awarded recently...

A STEP AWAY...

As hope dwindles and dreams shatter,
As faith weakens and trepidations grow,

You search for a ray of light
To keep your world aglow.

And yet you can’t summon the spirit,
You’ve lost yourself along the way;
You strive to grab some threads of hope,
But, out of reach, they’re still a step away…

Completely distressed, you want to sob,
But you’ve promised yourself, you’ll not!
You know, you need to push on,
And luck will be yours before long!

Clutching this faith close to your heart,
You set out to make a worthwhile day;
But the shine in your eyes is short-lived,
As, the fluke you desire is still a step away…

Frustration builds, your resolve wavers,
You need a moment to gather yourself;
You need to clear your gloomy mind,
And pull yourself out of the daunting gulf.

As you grope for the holy door,
Behind which, answers to your prayer lay;
You’re pulled back and you realise,
That the blessing you seek is still a step away…

Fighting all debacles and heartaches,
You’re worn and crushed to the core;
You need rest and words of love
To heal your heart, lost and sore.

And while you search for a trace of warmth,
You’re met, yet again, with dismay;
For, the love you crave is an abyssal trench,
Its beyond reach…still a step away…

At long last, it dawns on you,
That love and joy come in small bundles;

You must let go of the past,
And look forward to sweet wonders.


You may have lost someone precious,
But don’t let the ache rule you today;
For, a new dream, a new love awaits you,
Just reach out….its only a step away!


Let your world fill with colours…
Let new dreams crystallize…
Grab every joy,
And you’ll realise,
That a blissful life is just a step away!
