random musing

is it a physical reality?
or a state of mind?
she stands alone...
does the crowd surround her?
or is she part of the crowd?

is this what she wanted?
or is it what was given?
she lives alone...
does she feel loss?
or is she lost?

why do people come?
or why do they go?
she cries alone...
is it what they took away?
or is it what they left behind?

is there parting?
or only scaling new horizons?
she smiles alone...
will she fill the void around?
or will they fill her space?

are there reunions?
or farewells for life?
she waits alone...
does she await a meeting?
or look for a life beyond?

  1. Nice...very nice.... Its beautiful...while reading it suddenly started visualising the song " savli si ek ladki aarzu ke gaon me gulmohor ki chaav me intazaar karti thi..." but what made u write this....it leaves you with a depressed lonely feeling....

  2. Are you into music? Try listening to "The Blues" by Switchfoot, from the album "Nothing is Sound".

  3. This is awesome!!! It kind of reflects a state of mind...like a lost person wondering and wandering....one can relate to many parts of it at different times in life...
