A New Journey

I make an irresolute journey from those days,

I make wild efforts to grasp

Those days that was so much a part of me

Those days which I refuse to let go

But surely enough seem to elapse

Plain as I don’t want to see

Plain I want to refuse

Now the truth austerely mocks in my face

But of course it’s too early! But of course it’s too soon!

But of course! I say in vain

As I watch those days obliterate

The painful realization dawns on me

The life ahead with its arms open wide

It berates

I must lose all, all that belonged to those days

All of that will dissipate

The memories of lost life and loved ones

I watch in horror as they seem to dilute

But pre-empting the fate that was chosen for me?

Reason prevails.

Those days were just the prelude

Now I watch

The kaleidoscope of those colourful days I stand and long for

Those days, those moments

But just a juncture

A new chapter to create

I make my irresolute journey from those days,

They shine like embers

Those days I will treasure in my memory chest

The compass that will show me the direction

As I charter new waters

They blink in the dark like long lost love

I need to set them free

I need to embrace the unknown

Those days! Their effervescence will stay, will never fade away

Those days! They made me!
