I am on a journey, a journey called life ..
Some days pleasant, few sheer delight..
Others are slow, deary and dull,
Few are down right distressing and cold ..
Kind that knocks your soul

But above all .. I remind myself
Patiently , I am still standing
Walking quietly minding my own life
Collecting tokens, celebrating moments
Rejoicing or grieving , moving ahead with
Each confident or tentative stride

The parts of me, in the heart
The ones that rest in deep hurt
At times refuse to heal , want reasons why
Even with all efforts , all positive seals
Of approval .. so I let them be in peace
As I move on and see the world
With wide open eyes, no coloured glasses
Are in my sight and yes I smile ..

With pure joy and happiness
Who said that sadness and happiness
Were not the original twins
The two sides that could not exist
Without the other in life ..

Peace is possibly the lasting aim
Even if it takes war to stake the claim
On it. So I walk and see myself
There is no peace without restlessness
No quiet without turmoil
No ending without a start in stride.
