One Step Ahead Poem by Paramita Roy

You said that memories jade with time,
You were right, they did...
Somewhere beyond the clarion azure
The obscure nights have hid.

I can breathe again, in and out...
I can walk in the rain,
I can feel my sanity return,
After the feel, 'i' m insane.'

You said my pain would perish with time,
You were right, they did...
Unlearnt the artless lesson of life,
My cosmos, I forbid.

I laugh and can bear the echo again,
I gaze at the starlit sky...
I have instilled my faith anew, to
believe that assurance do live by.

Yet a wounded soul who,
waits for the clock to tick by...
Waits for that last breath,
For all yesterdays to die.
