The Moon had set, it was Dawn,
I forayed into the Land, as a young Fawn.
It was gorgeous, in love with it I fell,
The satisfaction it gave me, I cannot tell.
I gave it my Heart, it became my Life
The Emotions ran deep & the turns as sharp as knife.
Adventurous it was, it was at its flourished peak,
I stood enchanted, with negativity so bleak.
I laughed, I cried, I ran, I hide
I sank into it, till my thirst died.
Charming as it was, with its own unique hue,
It was all so pleasant, like a dream which was so true.
I didn't feel it, but time blew away
It was ready to fall, come what may.
Dusk it was, the Sun had set,
Still I was strong, remembering the time we met.
I didn't budge, I didn't sublime
After all, it was my happiness chime!
With a wavering hope, I continued my ride
The reality and the virtue by my side.
Up came the Moon, yet it being dark
A worry crept up my face, I heard the warning bark.
In hope of a new dawn, I prayed for the set of the Moon,
How long will it be, is it here soon?
A cloud surpassed, the shadowy light was gone,
I was scared, what had been so wrong?
Not ready to give up, some courage I mustered
Yet no luck, I began to feel flustered.
Then lightning struck, out of the blue
Prayers after prayers, from my soul flew.
The blaze was high, my spirit was strong
I tried my best, everywhere I thronged.
The smoke rose high, stiffling my throat,
There was no escape, no way to float.
It burned the trees, the flora and Fern
The times were hard & Destiny was stern.
The verdict is out, I've lost the war
But as I look back, what was my struggle for?
The softness I cherished : it was gone,
The love I had - lost is my song.
The Aftermath it is, I'm ready to face
The disaster is over, down goes the blaze.
Its over its finished , the people say
But it's safe in my heart, come what may.
I gallop still, among the trees so charred
I feel suffocated, I feel so scarred.
There's nothing left, save an unfulfilled desire
But then its like the Moth & The Fire.
I cannot enjoy, I cannot keep at bay
I'm injured but I cannot stay away.
Is this the end, in a maze so confused?
I will go on, to turn back I've refused.
And when its no more, with a certain zest,
This wandering spirit, I will rest.
Is the end there yet, I still can hear the song
The body must've died but the Soul goes On and On.
PS : There is no direct reference to anything but I hope you people can get the vibes. I'm in such a pitiable state right now, its almost like I've been crying since long. There is hope here, but yet, I'm sad.
Cheers,
Mahi
