Warm old heart struggling in search of solace...
A journey through shadows..
Holding the lamb of resilience
in the part of frustration.
...
In a pit of despair, surrounded by walls that waver her faith,
An open abyss yawns, where storms of life fall in, and she struggles to shade herself from the shame it brings.
Every touch and climb is a glimmer of hope,
A respite from the rankling dry dust and earth that irks her soul.
...
Running around circles,
like a hatching chick nestling around its nest,
attempting every idea that floods my mind,
efforts seem hindered.
...
In a mundane house drenched in frustration,
Daydreaming, detached, caught in a mental drift,
mind fosters hope and everlasting joy.
It fizzles at dawn; now dusk!

Symphony Of Hope
Warm old heart struggling in search of solace...
A journey through shadows..
Holding the lamb of resilience
in the part of frustration.
Flickers of hopes, flying fireflies.
The tiny king, the cricket cheers
the traveler..
Chirping guide, sweet melody
on life's winding road..
The only bosom friend!
There's hope, though narrow
there's an end.
