Forever starts now..

The pain is lasting.
And now you realize it.
Shut your mind, slay your soul,
and you run away.
Do you hear the jarring of thoughts?
Or the far cry of your soul?
No wonder the faith lost you.

The tear in your eye shall take leave too.
As mutely as the smile did.
Lest you know the end is near.
And that forever starts now!

A stone wears but it can't feel.
The darkness haunts.
Memories break.
Hurt bothers.
Helplessness vexes.
Or does it?
Wonder of all wonders.
You live a life being yourself.

A candle in the murk, you blew it merrily.
A hand of trust, you twisted it brutally.
I took you to fly high; you pushed me all the way down.
I fought to drive your blues away; you always juggled to make me fear.
Explanations I never sought. Never would.
Amazed, I'll always be.

You are so lost now.
Is there a way out of the dreary dungeons you ask?
The answers you seek are yours alone.
Hope that you triumph will be mine. I promise.
Like you, even I would wish.
The end was not near.
And that forever did not start now!

As random as they have been listed, more varied, and less unanticipated they are. People call it their passion, obsession or more simply love or like. The list above shows the themes on which blogs on blogspot are based on. They have been listed in the order they appeared when I clicked ‘next blog’ after mine.

Are you passionate about something? Does something make you feel like you can go through the rest of your life doing it, exploring it, being with it or talking/writing about it and loving it? Have you found the calling in your life?

Unfortunately, we are not born photographers, politicians or psychopaths. It would have been much easier that way. It would have made sense to say loud and clear that “I was born to do this!” But since that is not the case, we want to go and look out for the reason for our existence. To put it in other words, “make this life worth living”. Some of us do find a reason. Some of us keep looking. Some of us give up. Some of us don’t have a choice.

As for me, it may sound a bit like romantisizing with the idea- I am still to find my true calling in life. And it might well take that long before I find it but I will not stop looking.

Things get in the way
Rush of every day
Ordinary stuff we all get into
Wouldn’t it be sad
If all you ever had
Was a granite epitaph that said I meant to
