‘There is only one life to live’, I had always heard,
But never really thought what was meant through those words;
As long as everything kept going as usual
My attitude towards life was nothing but casual;
Not at all caring for what seemed right
I simply kept following that gave me delight;
When the so called practical world was miles away
I never bothered about pain and smiled through my way;
What could I ask for? When i thought I had everything to live
The heart full of happiness and big dreams to believe;
When abundance of joy was flowing like rivers
playing along the shores were friends and their cheers;
Life was an adventure and adventure brought joy
Without being serious I was able to enjoy;
Now I realised life stood still like a fuel-less flight
When happiness was past and no future in sight;
I now had almost everything that the world talked of happiness
still my heart was longing for something beyond its loneliness;
May be I thought life wasn’t giving me that golden past to live
but ignored the fact that I did nothing special to revive;
I spent my days looking within my soul
but failed to find a single reason to console;
And one day, I had a revelation in my dream
Internal voice that was clear with what all means;
“Whenever you find sorrows hovering around you,
Just look within the soul and I would always speak to you.”
