Emptiness no matter how crowded life is with things and people…

and what do I do  with this silence that I hear even when so many voices are ringing?

so many stand by my side  …yet why do I feel I’ll fall ?

so many answers everywhere but why is that one question missing to fit them all?

who are you..and where have you gone with my soul…leaving behind an empty shell?

who are you who took so much that I can’t find myself?

who are you who took  my valor, leaving behind a lost warrior  in the armour?

who are you who’s fading away with time …and blurring my image in the mirror?

Who are you that I seek so ardently?

Where is the love for which I crave feverishly ?

so many strokes of color yet they all seem pale

so many battles won and yet why do I fail?

the warmth of sun awakens  new leaves  yet everything seems frozen….

So many beautiful dreams in my eyes yet why  is it yours that I have chosen?

So many breaths in a moment yet a lifeless existence…

So much time ticking in the timepiece but yet the hands seem to halt every moment

And this vulnerable moment crawling ,waiting to be picked by you

and then trampled by your carefree stride…

This beautiful moment being tossed by you playfully

could have resurrected the  fallen…

I pray that you awaken so that I can open my eyes …

I pray that you come so that I can arrive…
