GETTING THERE !

It was that time of the year
When it was cold outside
With pain and fear- your friends sincere
You sat there all alone and cried
Sat there in the bitter chill
Wishing your hurt would subside
Wondering if God knew of kinder ways to kill.
Death was life for your life had died,
Happiness, love and warmth- from you they shied.
The blurry mist, the foggy haze-
Your fortune for the rest of your days

Bleak black skies- so very dark
They blind you to your cold, empty hands.
With a destination, your journey
You thought you’d embark.
What was once firm rocky lands;
Standing on which you planned to make your mark
Is nothing but mere quick sand.

Are you at a crossroad?
Are you at a dead end?
You don’t seem to know!
In the middle of nowhere
With no place to go
But you know you’ll get there…somewhere
You know you’ll get there… somehow.
Somewhere is a place all of us strive to go.
For me, it could be Heaven,
For you it could be Xanadu.
Some know their ‘somewhere’
Few know the way
Fewer get there
But not all get to stay.
Miles above the moon shines through the obscure skies.
Bleached, blurred, opaqued- it still does rise.
Your body hurts, your soul is scarred.
But Hope, Faith and Trust- that will suffice.
You just need to believe, believe from your heart.
There is nothing here.
There is nothing around.
Its all up there
To Him you are bound.
Look up, Look therein…
Black skies but stars twinkling within
Sparkling and dancing- all shiny and bright.
They are all there…just like any summer night.
They have been there. Been there long.
Doing their part; spreading their light around.
Though at day-break you feel they don’t belong.
If your heart believes, they can be found…
…Perhaps shining just a little
Not enough for the whole world to see.
But shining long
Long enough to write the whole world’s history.

Learn from them
There is light in dark
Thought just a little dot
You’ve still made your mark.
These little dots scattered here and there
All join to make a line
That takes you . . . SOMEWHERE !
