Such is Life.. Yours & Mine!!

Friends - I always found it v difficult to open up, very tough to share the sorrows and ask for help. Something I may not have been very good at I guess. It is for this reason I always preferred to pen down my feelings instead of looking for an ear. Have never shared my thoughts /poems with the world to judge and comment but somehow I find this forum really exciting and intimate. Hoping I am right and I get to make a great community of like minded people !!

So here is my first piece, highlighting a turbulent phase of my life and daring to open up!!!!!!

Recently, I lost a near and dear one and found myself totally lost. The world seemed too fake and too busy to care. While my life was at a stand still, the world kept on moving and the clock kept on ticking. I was expecting things to stop for me, people to hold on and halt their lives.. hah! how unrealistic I was... It was that time in my life, I realised what it means to absorb the loss and not expect much from the people. I realised how for granted we take everything and how precious this life is. I realised I have been so blessed and believed that it must be for the better.

It was that moment when the below piece came to me and I captured this image. Its straight from my heart ... enjoy!!!

Such is life..
a rainbow in a bubble.
Floating around and flying high,
as if its gonna touch the sky.
The reality hits, the bubble bursts,
and the rainbow bites the dust.
Such is life ... yours & mine,
Live it up, before you run out of time!!

I am no writer, aint no blogger, just an ordinary person with lots of thoughts!!!
