Why Do I Fear

Day 69

Fear, dear lord the fear!

Overtaking my senses.

Consuming my saneness.

How do I overcome it?

How do I remain calm?

Teach me to stop stressing,

And quit overthinking.

With deep breaths of air,

I try exhaling out my dark fears

What is the cause of this weakness?

When I have been brave before.

Guess only I can save myself,

From these unreasonable

Bouts of fear.

I Miss You

Day 67

I miss you,

When I look at the radiant full moon,

I miss you,

When I turn around and not find you by my side.

I miss you,

Thinking of the jokes you cracked to make me laugh.

I miss you,

Upon learning how easy you make my life.

I miss you,

in the emptiness of my room.

I miss you,

Every time I close my eyes.

The tears never seem to dry,

Come back soon the love of my life.

You Yearn For..

Day 66

The ineffable mysteries of the soul

Has many untold endless desires –

Needless appetite for mastery,

Wretched craving for possessions,

Delusory hope for enlightenment,

Bountiful want of happiness,

Intense moments of fierce passion,

Perpetual period of peacefulness.

Someone Looking Out for You

Day 65

When was the last time

You heard a comforting voice.

When did you last earn

A genuine loving smile.

When did you hold on tight

To a warm hand of concern.

When did somebody whisper

A few words of wisdom.

When there are rays of hope..

Filled with gestures of love..

You can always live life a little more.

Rain Over Me

Day 63

The season has changed

It has begun to rain

Gusts of wind

Blow over the terrain

Rising dust in the air.

Darkness casts its shadow again

Hail thunderstorm

Here comes the rain

Pouring down all over again.

Riding the Waves

Day 56

I was riding the ocean.

Soft, steady waves.

Slowly began to increase in tide.

I wavered a bit but held on tight.

I quickly learnt to tame them

They were pulling me deeper

Right into the middle

Rain poured down upon me

The roar and anger of the ocean

Shook my soul but I kept going

Then a deathly wave rose and engulfed me

I was deep inside, sinking within

Not afraid but embracing it.

Fighting it, until I rose again.

Is beautiful

Day 52

Stretch of barren land.

Desert rose, faltering petals.

Tombstones, serene cemetery.

Rising, grey dark clouds.

Bare isolated, autumn tree.

Fallen lonely, maple leaf.

Old dusty, deserted library.

Fallen shoe, on an empty road.

Rusty green, park bench.

And her tranquil gaze.

Found beauty in all of these.

Kinship

Day 51

Like a flower,

Your kind kinship blossoms my life.

Your negligence and anger

Pierces through my mind and heart.

Making me shallow,

Wringing the inside of my soul.

And I still do not hate you.

I feel you stronger in me than ever before.

You are so good that no matter how much it hurts.

I bond with you a little more than the day before.
