Hope

My sight gazes at the horizon ..
Looking for the sun to rise ..
The rain to fall and ..
The rainbow to surprise ..

The wait is long ..
As the sun is setting ..
It has been so ..
Ever since I have been waiting ..

The vision goes blur ..
I wipe my eyes ..
Then I see a peacock dancing ..
But its just a disguise ..

If I move to the horizon ..
The horizon also moves far ..
The harder I walk .. the more it eludes me ..
The faster it moves .. i cant be at par..

So I wait for the sun rise ..
The peacock to dance ..
So I wait for the rain to fall..
and it to call my name by chance ..

However it seems like a distant dream ..
But how do i give up the hope ..
For the dream is what I have ..
Like that delicate sparkling dew drop ..

Someone has said Hope is life ..
Hope is god ..Hope gives faith ..
So I hold on to mine .. hanging to it ..
Otherwise everything else is a wraith ..

Let this sun set .. let a new sun rise ..
Let it be bright, let it shine ..
More vibrant .. more Orange ..I shall not give up ..
For the new sun will rise and it will be mine ..

Journey

On a rainy day like yesterday ..
I embarked on to an unknown journey ..

With my suitcase in my hand..
With no plan, no tickets ..

Not knowing the destination..
I took a leap to an unknown journey ..

On my way.. sometimes i look back ..
Sometimes I move ahead ..

At times am weary.. Sometimes am not ..
Sometimes i open that suitcase ..

An old photo frame .. the photo seems to have faded ..
Some familiar faces .. but with a cracked mirror ..

A yellow book .. whose pages are torn ..
A red rose .. got dried between those pages ..

A piece of parchment .. something scribbled on it ..
In an strange language .. that i cant interpret ..

A scented handkerchief .. whose fragrance is withering away ..
A chess board .. its battle i have already lost ..

My journey is not over yet ..
I keep marching towards an unknown destination ...

On a Sunny day like today ..
I open the window .. the wind gently blows my hair ..

The sun peeps into my eyes ..
I look at that suitcase ...

I don't open it that often these days ..
I wonder .. if I need it anymore ..

But I still carry it around with me ..
I guess .. it will always remain with me ..

On a sunny day like today ..
I think has my journey come to end ??

Or has it just begun ..
