Life as it unfolds
tells us tales
which we like
and which we dont


when i had -
a thunderous uproar
never did i think
i would see sunshine again!


i felt helpless
i began running
my feet started bleeding
so did my heart!


the skies started-
to clear when -
my mind wasnt..
my heart wept...


resting my meaningless
thoughts to rest,
i wowed to rely-
on the tricky fate!


fate!it did teach me,
but, not wat i-
longed , but wat i needed..
for the best was yet to come!


i was a loner
who refused to open-
my eyes towards light,
even wen i was blinded to martyrdom!


i longed for security
for love, and care
a mother, and happiness
and a companion to grow old with!


fate wasnt kind, i thought
its cruel, i cursed
for i never got wat i wanted
and wat little i had, i lost!

here, they said, behold-
the skies are clearing.....!
the climate is favorable
and so looks THE WINDS OF LUCK!


i sighed in despair
for luck, never favored
neither did th fate
for i was cursed one, who had nothing!


here descended an angel
who brought good news, said they
oh, a good news,always got rotten-
as it passed my ears, oh my fate!


is anything better,
wen u had lost ur boat
and u hav fallen in th sea-
with nothing to hold on but,sheer hope!


hope, helped
but those who longed
to see th rainbow after th rain..
was i too, one among those?


i knew , the night is only now
but not later, wen -
th dawn breaks,
to show th world, its beauty.


hope always helped endure
hope thought to long-
for th one rainbow which never failed-
to come after th rains!


th dawn broke!
th rainbow appeared!
th skies were blooming
with th fresh fragrance around it!


th troubled mind
brought with it -
its despairs to rest
to tantalize th wonder of HOPE!




~~~~~~~~~~~3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
th rainbow, came..
and there, it took away-
th hurt of th heart
and th look of grief!


wen hope taught-
to wait, heart learnt it.
so wen th dawn broke,
came the wonder of a loving freind...


a friend, for whom-
th wait has been worth-while..
and necesary, to get done-
with th scars of th lost mom..


wen th friend came,
together came a goddess,
who was just like th one-
i lost in th hands of fate!


my mind was th vessel-
which always gave and never received ,
and so was it, always empty
for fate taught me wat it felt like!


th friend, was th one,
i had longed for all my life
to whom my heart had bonded
at th very instinct, i heard!


wen hope, gave me,
i got it in a fistful
of all i had gathered
i realized, is all i had needed!


my friend came to add-
color to my life
with th goddess who is_
as adorable as th gift she produced- my friend!


hope gave me a rainbow ,
to smile off th rain-
that washed away
everything i had,in th last downpour..


th friend, was a blessing
so was th goddess, he brought with him
for they brightened my life
they very instant they came into it!


wen th evening breeze-
hummed happy tones,
my heart danced to -
th musiq of th WINDS OF HOPE
and with joy of returning
to where i belong
to where the calling had been
to where i shall always be
until i meet my mom,who i lost
befor she met the family-
i was born to be a daughter of!
