Yesterday..Today..Tomorrow
Yesterday..Today..Tomorrow
Gazing at the sharp silver hint spluttering in between the hovering dark cloud.
my mind thinks aloud…
…of Bittersweet childhood days and immaculate dreams.
Of Yesterday,
Where amidst the wonderful and fun filled growing years,
There were fair share of buried insecurities and traumatic fears.
Before me,at times would emerge,
The colossal,tidal whirlpool of tears.
My life if I may say,
Has gifted me echoing sound of accomplishment and applause,
Has along side bestowed upon me,
The haunting void of prolonged halts and pause.
In all this of course my closest relatives were failure and silence,
But I must fondly remember my dearest friends,love and reliance.
I back up, and I see,
Some near and yet far untouched destination.
The piercing pain of anger and suppressed aggression.
As I feel the pinch of my fading youth,
I fiercely regret holding back many a truth.
Of Today,
That has slipped like sand from my palm.
I heavily sigh brooding,loosing my cool and calm,
Opportunities that I so frivolously and callously lost
Few that might have gained really,at what cost?
Of Tomorrow,
That has vowed to gracefully tumble,
Pocket full of myriad dreams with sparkle and rumble.
This is surely a sprinkle of vibrant ray of hope.
And miles to tread with,numerous challenges to cope.
I strongly wish this is just not a phase or a stint.
Having a purpose is a life long marathon,
and not simply a flit.
Because the optimism that,it brings,
Wave of positivity that, it rings,Is a sure shot keeper.
I need to soar yo break the glass ceiling and can’t be a sleeper.
I experience the galloping adrenalin,I forge ahead,
Enough of being laid back and feeling dead.
The dark cloud has scattered,
Displaying the vivid blue tinted sky
I can almost hold it,such is the high.
As I smell the mud of the new terrain,
I do feel sprightly all over again.
I need to shine through the hollow pitch dark.
It’s time, I ignite the long lost spark.
I embark on this journey,keeping the morning torch burning bright,
Yet I shall embrace and take with me my previous shallow night.
I want to grow,I want to glow with integrity.
With a trail of work behind me and as a product of some serendipity.
Let me beam in my own light and radiate love,
Let me shimmer with pride and rise above
About this poem
It’s about my life in retrospect, at present and my life in anticipation. The poetry reflects the current state of mind which recollects days of darkness which left a vaccum and a bright ray of hope which is all set to fill the void with zeal and zest to rekindle a dream which has been in hibernation.
