Sometimes it seems
my world is but a whirlpool of random things happening
my words are but some rambling,
coherent and confusing
life's been a journey so far without a direction or destination
I've followed the wind and have sailed for miles
been through storms and fought with light
I've shed the shadows of my past
let out the skeletons, set my spirit free
followed the fireflies to a distant place
where my heart sang a notch higher with joy
The place to rest my wandering soul
the place that has brought me peace.

It had to be done. She made her excuse and switched the line. “Hello!”she said a little anxiously, but before she could say anything else, the drunk voice from the other end shouted joyously “Baby, I got a job, I got placed”. And she smiled. He’d called up her other number an hour ago and said the same thing over and over again till her Mother replied...”Congratulations! She’s in college son.” He then spent the next ten minutes apologising for calling in the middle of the night. But did it stop ...

Reflections!

She took a moment to stop fidgeting and looked at the reflection.  What she saw amazed her and yet she found it hard to recognize.  The childlike smile and kind eyes that stared back at her quizzically. What had changed? Why was there emptiness where once there was pure joy?   She smiled a wary smile, looked deeper into those eyes that were once kind. Only to find a shallow pool of tears welling inside. And as she turned around to leave she heard a faint voice.  A gentle voice that said “let go”. “Let go and come back to being the girl you were always meant to be and not the empty shell I see in front of me now.”
