THE REALISATION

Alone in the world I stand ,
Crying over someone that was never mine ,
Wiping the invisible tears trickling down from my eyes ,
Like those droplets of rain falling from the clouds when it sighs.

With no hands on my shoulders to comfort me ,
I keep walking through this endless channels of despair ,
Hoping to meet someone who understands me ,
Hoping to meet someone who trusts me ,
Trying for those few words of consolation to be heard ,
Dying for those three words that means life.

But when I look back ,
through the road that I had treaded unknowingly ,
I find the people that I have overlooked ,
The people whom I have neglected ,
Calling me back ,
with open arms,
Ready to forgive me ,
ready to give me another chance.

Then the realisation dawns on me ,
that LONELINESS is one's own choice .
With hundreds of hands to support you ,
You are never alone ,
For friendship is God's way to let you know ,
That he CARES...............

THE TREE

The wind was wailing through the trees ,howling like a man maddened with grief who finds no one to give his shoulders on which he can pour out his meloncholy in the form of those tiny droplets of water that are defined as tears by this cruel world .The cluttering of each and every leaf was clearly synchronised with the bellowing wind reassuring that music is the soul of this world .The leaves were falling down and blown to unknown destinations by the wind like a lover who submits himself to his counterpart ,trusting him with everything that he has in his life.But he,probably unhindered by the wind's raging war,was still sitting there with hands crossed and face down beneath the same tree which started it all .Probably the thaugts in his mind was stronger than the winds .
Hours passed by ,even the winds had given up the hope of disturbing him and calmed down.Leaves lay motionless all around him as if abondoned by the person whom they had trusted .The same trees which were boasting of their might with the support of the wind were now probably regretting their decision to do so ,cause they had lost the leaves .......leaves which were his family ....leaves which were his friends ........The remorse that it felt were visible in the way it stood dumbstruck without the tiniest bit of moment as if feeling the shame of trusting the winds which was with him for only few instance.But the tree under which he was sitting looked a bit different ....different than others......something was isolating it from them . The sun had again come out and was shining to it's fullest enlightening everything where it's rays could reach ,probably unperturped by the havoc that the wind had created earlier .It was doing it's work .The dust that had settled on him were beginning to look like a crown that had unkowingly
glorified him .But still he didn't move .
Finally darknees embraced everything overcoming the mighty sun consolidating the fact that powerful as a person may be, he has to bow down atleast to somebody .The moon had taken the place of sun.Though it's light was nothing compared to that of sun's but still it seemed to beautify everything .The leaves seemed to get new life from it shining brighter than ever .....the
branches of the trees seemed to open their hands wide as if to invite everybody as it's guest .The slight breeze that was flowing was making the dust to dance around making weird shapes on the ground .Everything was calm ........except his thaugts probably .But Still he did not move .
Suddenly their was a movement far away .Somebody was coming towards him holding something in her hands which looked like a flower ............yes it was a rose which became clearer as she approached him .....she had tears in her eyes .......but her face was rather strange enough not showing any kind of feelings ......the breeze became stronger as she approached ......the trees started to shed their leaves as if to welcome her .........yes they had recognized her .....specially the one under which he was sitting.Still he did not move .She came forward ,sat down ,placed the flower in front of him,stood up and went away without even looking back once .Still he did not move ..............Probably the tree that had started it all had ended it all..................
