my dream - my life

franklin_trees_01

on a cold winter morning
with the winds howling in the dark
i make my way out
into the wilderness

danger everywhere
beasts prowling in the dark
hungry for more prey
with insatiable appetite

stumbling into the dark
pitfalls and danger all around
i crawl out of my home
into this dark, desolate forest

darkness all around
sunlight trapped high above the ground
life was tough
life was hard

the journey had been chosen by
my men and women before me
the path is the same
individual being different

it was easy as a pie
travel the same path
(just like everyone)
hop on to the bus that comes along
and go where it takes you
get down when its your turn

i wanted to be different
i wanted to live life
i wanted to live my life
enjoy it every moment
enjoy it even if its for a minute

stopping midway
i turned around
walked into the forest
wanting to live my life
i set out to make my own path

the path may not lead to riches
the path may not be the easy route
but i dare to be different
taking one step at a time
i march on
towards my dream

my dream
my life
my happiness
my path

join me if you want
for the journey has just begun
and the path is still being carved out

Always remember,
Calm seas never make skillful sailors

Note:

“the path is still being carved out” - there is no such thing as a defined route to happiness.  At times in life you will find something new which may redefine your path. Just dont be afraid to accept and embrace the change. Change is inevitable in life :). If you dont, you might miss out on happiness and you might not get an another oppurtunity. Opportunity knocks only once

Intricate Web of Life

spider_web

my life has been one hell of an adventure so far
so many paths
so many obstacles
so many twists and turns

each path
led to the same destination

each obstacle
i fought
and made my way through
on to the same path i wanted to avoid

each step i took
i stumbled onto a new path
onto a new adventure
a brand new adventure with the same story
with the usual ending

until,
my life became one big indiana jones adventure

given up on life
i banished myself into the forests
with a view to rebuild my life

lady luck deserted me long time ago
with hope and confidence
i slowly tried to weave my life back together
slowly and steadily
i started weaving

luck was never in my favor
the web that was to be my life
slowly gave away
one by one
the strands that made my web
fell down

one by one
i slowly rebuilt them
again and again

again and again
it was the same
over and over again

time has taken its toll
the life that i wanted to “weave”
now lay in tatters
the web that i built
is almost in ruins

against this bitter cold wind
determined to make a last stand
i barricade myself
and stand my ground on this lone strand (of web)
that is left of my “web”
hope is all i have
in this precarious position

all i can hope is
the web that i once nurtured with love and care
stays with me
all i can hope is
the web that is my life
does not turn into my final resting place
hope is all i have
hope is all i can hope
