Looking at life I was trying
to find something,
But was not sure where would
I get it and what was that thing.
With each passing moment I
was trying to think and think,
But did not realize exactly
what was it!!
Moving through what we call
as a routine,
I did not end my search with
each passing ticking.
Met a lot of people and
asked about my hunt,
But all were confused as to
what do I want?
Then came a day when I
myself started asking questions,
Hoping that this world and
Almighty would answer me or give some suggestions.
It came as a dream but before I could get something
it disappeared on its way,
But I realized then, it gave
me some message though it just passed by.
It gathered me a lot of
consequences by its small presence,
It was the feeling which
turns a seed and blooms a flower,
It also gave me the peace of
ever roaring sea,
It said about what it means
to feed a young little child,
It gave the thoughtfulness
of helping someone,
Still I was confused about
what message is this?
I came to a conclusion that
love and care had some point leading this.
I assured myself that this
was the thing missing from me.
Still trying to find what’s
so special about it that it can’t come to me?
Maybe someday it will show
me its face..
Till then I would learn more
about it so that there would be no disgrace.
People run behind it, follow
it everywhere
Coz just a touch of it or
its soothing presence can make everything repair.
Some find it young while
others spend their lives for it.
It’s such a beautiful thing
that no one dares to live without it.
Just a thought that there is
plenty for everyone
So that no one ever feels
sad or feels shy to express it when it needs one.
