Life, tell me are you fair
For I can see you now unjust
To those who are my air
Your winds tear us apart
Through the lands of pain
They force us to travel
Each alone in his way
But we have our memories
Upon them we dwell
Every night and every day
With joy and grief smiles and tears
Our memories we engrave
To face the darkness of our fears
They are the light we crave
Yesterday we were but frail
But now we are the strongest of souls
Through life’s river we sail
And meet when our eyes we close
a beautiful snapshot fo the journey...sail away...sail away...
ReplyDeletebeautiful... I love visiting your blog, it's so relaxing!!!!
ReplyDeletewow the imagery this piece conjurs up is powerful! I loved it!
ReplyDeleteThat was very beautiful. Not to sound repetitive of everyone else. XD I was wondering where you'd been. I missed reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteYes, the travails of life do make us stronger, but having the support of those close to us, shedding light in the darkness, is what helps pull us through it. Beautifully expressed!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful dear Maha, powerful imagery, so too the photo. xo ♡
ReplyDeleteThis was really beautiful! Thanks for sharing. :o)
ReplyDeleteHey Gavin, thanks for visiting :)
ReplyDeleteI was having my exams and that made it quite impossible for me to write anything.
now that was definitely awesome.
ReplyDeleteheres why i feel that,
the first para talks about distance. distance in closeness.
the next upon the journey we take to diminish that distance although we may not know it.
the third about motive. why we travel when there is no need to. it is purely unintentional but we can stop any moment we want but we don't.
and the final about destiny.
its a complete piece unlike many that float around.
it has a start and an end. ravishing to the senses in the true meaning of the word.
ps: u din mention in ur profile that other than reading, u write so well too. :P
Oooh...I love this poem. Beautiful! Nice to (cyber) meet you and I'm glad you found my blog :) As a fellow Gemini, I salute your ever-changing personalities!
