TOWARDS 🚴THE NEW YEAR🕛

The year ends , new year's ahead.
So many turns and thrilling bends.
Astonishing people , places and events,
memories of all the moments we had,
we bear with us as our new comrades.

Some weekends were not as luxuriant ,
some hardships were dealt fortuitously brilliant.
Some people might have broken us down ,
while some had made us laugh it loud
All the hantle of year's learnt lessons
coming from various ambiance,
we bear with as this priceless experience.

The shady days might have clouded,
but then we faced it , with a realization.
That all we need and ever had needed,
was always with us as self motivation.

May all of us bear this year,
everything that makes us feel loved .
The key to all our biggest fears,
resides in ourselves , just make this clear.
The new year awaits and let's not be troubled,
with what doesn't really matters.
Be yourself and have fun with others,
on wings of happiness choose your brightest feathers.
And take a flight so majestic!
that goes on in all weathers.

The leaving 🎒

Was at home a while ago ,
Faces dull , smiles so low.
My mom and granny with teary eyes
exhausted but trying to resist the tears
And then my father with words so wise
Held me in arms but released the tears
But withheld them much before than I could see
feigning to be as strong as a reef
But couldn't hide his tree tall grief

Soon it was time to go,
With faint smile I turned for the door
Slowly I was walking out
Away and away from my lovely house

From next morning no one's waking me up,
No Breakfast on table no filled coffee cups
No scolding from father on doing something wrong,
Cause from tomorrow morning I'm on my own.

Thoughts like that clouded my mind,
Like slaty clouds on a clear sky.
All of it - the emotional deluge,
Rushed out - I began to cry.
I turned around only to see,
I'm far...... so far from -  my family ..

I turned back to me and the silence,
I remember the words my father had said-
                     " if you are a gold
                   Then fear no test
       Burn in the heat of the fire that refines
           Out of it you'll come as best"

His gold has now stepped into the fire,
Wiping off tears ,
Shaking off fears,
Off I go to walk on the wire ........
