"I tried"

-
The sun rose the following day
brought new happenings
the surroundings stirred
and the day started
with the same thought 
though waist-deep in quicksand
"I will do better today".

Sat on the working chair
took a cup of tea
hoped that it will be sweet
started to mend the broken rhythm
went low and above
a place somewhere unknown 
so consumed that 
I faded.

My tea had gone cold
By the time I came to earth
Had gone seven more inches down
My thoughts went to overdrive
then I remembered the promise
The reason that I try
"I am here for you"
My tea tasted bitter
But I tried.

Conceding to a point, being sorry when out of line proven wrong when you are, Saying “I accept.” and it is fine. Being stupid, like Vir Das said, being laughed at is not so sad because you realize what happened was stupid then another day you are laughing instead.   Debating to reach a solution not testing how high your pitch is, making a point when it is your turn using knowledge to make that nincompoop burn. Quelling the anger that bursts from inside letting it bleed when the time is right using the words that make a point not the slangs which has taken over the fight.   Media circulating the facts which state the truth as it is, whatever it takes not caring about the right light or wrong light but just truth coming to light. Not blaming god for anything amiss as he does not control the destiny for if he had known the never-ending bloodshed, misery he would have made sure the start does not exist.

Tales of the hermit

-
If you squint a little, you would see a figure walking down the same path. There, sits a hermit who tells the old tales to who listens... He says the path is one And yet taken by many You see the potholes Many have fallen in A shadow looked lost and pale Giving up for he sees nothing, There is a child picking pebble To see what's beneath it He tells of the time When battles were decided with swords When word of the mouth Was worth more than gold. The hermit sees the time and keeps the happenings in mind. And he offers to tell the tale to those who stop and listen to him from time to time.

Timeline of change

-
You have seen the light fade preferred darkness some days burrowed under the weight of, changes brought forth by new days. Thoughts have made your head dizzy, heart thundering at every moment left or right; a heavy decision, kept you awake at night, hasn't it? And what is wrong with hesitation? Why not take a moment to breathe bow your head, close your eyes breathe loud, if it clears your sight. See the light at the horizon, there will be another one moments lost in forgetting the past, it is a shadow that can't be outrun. You took a decision, didn't you? You consulted your past, right? It has been your enemy; you agreed, but in times, has been your ally. It will be on your shoulders and you will always feel the weight, a shadow; you don't need to outrun, a timeline of how much you have changed.
