Gift of Knowledge

 
A sapling I was, new in this world,
You watered me and illuminated my life,
with the sunlight of your knowledge.

You nurtured and encouraged me
and helped me grow.
Teaching me right from wrong
and a lot of what I know

This wealth, you gave me,
more precious than diamonds.

The only wealth in this world
which increases the more you give
I hope someday I will too
Be one of the ones to increase it

Your guidance and patience
has brought me this far
provided me with tools
that will help me go even further in life
and hopefully make my life
something you will be proud of.

To all the teachers in my life,
who imparted me their knowledge,
and inspired me to do better,
knowingly or unknowingly.

Because of whom, I am what I am,
and I will be what I will be.
I thank you with all my heart.
For all that you have given me

There after all, is a morning after every night, the first rays of the sun shining, piercing through the dark with their light. Yesterday as I showered, I stood there in silence, staring into the bucket of water, watching its surface ripple, pondering upon the nature of happiness and how it seems it never last while sadness prevails steadfast. Every time I feel joy, I can be sure that it won't last. But this listless melancholy has stood by me steadfast. It is funny ho...

Far away somewhere

Far away somewhere, when the day goes to rest, The dusk sneaks up, shyly. Like a newlywed bride. And here, in the courtyard of my dreams, someone lights up a lamp Sometimes, when with no reason at all my breaths become heavy and my eyes well up with tears unshed With a flutter, lovingly, someone caresses me, but I cannot see her.. I cannot see her.. Sometimes these hearts are unable to touch and somewhere else, emerge connections deep and old The problem was such, it made my own heart the enemy belonging to me, yet bearing the pain of another. Only my heart knows all my secrets deep How I lost all my dreams, so golden These dreams, these alone are mine, I won't ever let their reminisces go away from me
