Light feeling shy...

by Shruti Mittal   Oct 11, 2006


I walk at this odd hour of time,
in this small area of my house
the sky seems so dark and vast,
oh! I realize,I am heading so fast.

A step ahead
and after a few of them I am back,
my mind hovering in the past
I feel something now I lack.

The cool air breezing
yet I am sweating.
carrying a heart so heavy
not a single wish am I getting.

The world moving away,
I am where I was.
Everything is spreading around,
but life has taken a pause.

I think and I think
how to get rid of my thoughts.
Tears fell from my eyes
how do I wipe these tiny drops.

Crying every night,
no answers for why and what,
I wish for a helping hand
Raising my head I see above.

I see the moon shining at its best
But my heart is like the rest
just like the rest of the darkened sky
just like the light feeling shy.......

    This is beautiful.So full of love and sadness and melancholia.I am really touched by this piece.As you look at the night sky, see the beauty of the stars and make a wish...eventually things get better and love and happiness will find you if you stay open to it.Never lose the capacity to love in your heart.

    Peace, Poetry, & Power,
