Bygone Days

Bygone Days

I lay on the bed, wide-eyed
Staring through the gleaming window
I look towards the desolate street
It seems as if it's calling someone

Down the memory lane, I recall all the moments.
How we met in this street for the first time
And talked throughout the night
In the dim yellow light
How we rode on our bicycles on Sunday afternoons and then had a hot chocolate brownie
How we met in the library and how we put our hands on the same book
And I let you take it.
How we met at the grand party and danced in the royal ballroom
Now, that everything has vanished and you have left
My town calls me every night to sing me these stories to sleep
We have it or not, my town has witnessed it all.💫

Making connection between heart and pen

An Empowered Woman

Later in the evening, she sits on a chair in her kitchen facing the window, looking at the tree swaying just as a bird sits on top of it. It moves and shakes from the core of its roots, as if jolted by an earthquake, but she notices, it's still standing tall, with a bark so strong that no matter how rough the weather is, no matter how many birds sit on it, it will stay where it is. ‘I am this tree’, she tells herself.

No Matter How Small, An Achievement Should Always Be Confident!

Everyone in this world is trying their best to contribute a teensy bit in this huge world with an ocean of knowledge. Some of us achieve the brownie points, while the others remain deprived until the right time. However, we all get paid for whatever contribution we make for the betterment of this world. Why are people trying to humiliate and belittle the efforts that others are making every day?
