Hold on..

The swish of the wind 

bellowing in my ears

Taking me back,to

days flown by.

Memories flooding my thoughts

Alternating- happy and sad,

I held on tight

to today's dreams .

Reaching for the stars

like i always do

Little drops of doubt

lingered in my mind.

Challenges and learnings

i hope to gain

Was that all it took

to complete my life?

Aspirations, i had many

cached in the chest within my heart

knew not when i shall unleash em

Hoped i did.

"That day too shall come"

my inner voice chided

jolting me back to today

hope and dreams 

Here i come....

The Future...

As we race through the days
time it runs ahead
thoughts and wishes leading us
on...

With every step i take
future i urge to grab
dreams and hope keeping me
strong....

work on and struggle some more
grab the books and get going
where does my future lie, i
wonder....

like a rat in the race
chasing and overtaking
time and time on, we forge
on...

"Enough!", not just a mere word
putting a halt,
dawning upon us, the value of
Life................

At that moment....

Entered my life,
like a wave against the shore
Slowly sneaking in

At that moment
knew not what struck me
but i knew,
a friend in you, i had found

Day in and day out
Words and unspoken silence
filled gaps between us
Slowly bridging the gap

At that moment
knew not  why we connected
but i knew,
a friend in you, i had found

Time wore on
Gap fading away

enveloping me in your
love and warmth

At that moment
knew not my life was going to change
but i knew,
a friend in you, i had found

Months have gone by
Your life has changed
celebrations i was a part of
Oh, how Special i was made to feel!!

At that moment
knew not i had earned a new family
But i knew
not just a friend, but some more i had found....

This poem is dedicated to a dear darling friend of mine, Dee... She came into my life about 8mths back and now, we are thick as thieves and close as hell... Love her and her entire family!!!!!
God bless you girl.... :)
