Some ways down the road

Some of them changed,
some of them have not,
some of them will change,
some of them will not.

Some changed only for me,
some changed only for you,
some never changed,
whatever you do,
some will never change,
forever cold and stubborn,
maybe you cared too much,
that changed the you in them.

I have changed and so have you,
take sometime and think this through,
does it frighten you or does it make you happy,
that you change so effortlessly.

Some will change silently and others violently,
but I know everything will change,
or so I think I do,
some ways down the road,
I might change my opinion too.

Just saying

Nobody actually knows anything! What seems as knowledge, is but a construct of the human mind itself. It is a manifestation of what seems to be the driving force behind everything. This very driving force eludes us, it is beyond our imaginative capabilities. We, who are in-fact a part of this manifestation,are beaten by the size of it.

Troubles you what!?

She cares about me not!

What about all the things she said,

all the things she did;

I don’t know, I don’t know,

she confuses me a lot!

Tell me more

She twinkles like a star,

so distant and far!

Come every night I fall for her.

There, I see her by the lake.

I try to reach her.

 she disappears,

 leaving nothing but a wave.

I look back at the sky and there she is,

My twinkling star, so distant and far!

I wonder, I wonder,

whether the problem is with you or with her?

There is nothing wrong with me,

It is her stupidity.

To not see me for what I could be.

You are not what you could have been!

Then why blame her for what she should have seen?

Taken her side have you?

Without any consideration for my position or view.

Don’t feel sad,

or be at me, angry and mad,

I know it is indeed pitiful for your love is very true!

What counsel do you have then for me?

If at all you are wise enough to give any.

Simple, Let go of her

Simple but not easy

Don’t bother, don’t bother,

 time will heal you

and put your heart in good order.

The Roots

Chapter-1             
There was nothing, I could not see anything, there was no warmth nor was there any chill, I could not hear anything nor could I feel the silence pressing upon.
My thoughts were my only companion, these too had a strange form of their own, I was not thinking in any language, what I was going through was pure emotion, bouts of happiness, anger, feelings of affection, sadness and many more for which I have no words to describe, these feelings though were not directed at anyone or anything. These waves of emotion took a while to die down, for which I had to focus my concentration on the question of WHERE AM I?
I tried to open my eyes, I wasn’t sure if I even had eyes, I couldn't feel any weight, am I in space? I wondered; my thoughts more concrete. Well, if I were in space how did I get here? to answer that, where was I before this?…WHERE WAS I?
I could feel the weight of an immense consciousness pressing upon me, feeding me these thoughts but I couldn’t connect to it. I could not find any memory. It was a complete void, I had only questions and no answers. But, have I asked all the questions yet?
I tried hard to remember again but to no avail, all the memory I had was that of being in this vacuum,trying to open my eyes and whatever occurred since then. What is left for me to ask?
The answer in the form of yet another question popped up WHAT AM I? The unknown and immeasurable consciousness does seem to help me but in a very limited way of feeding me these thoughts. The thoughts which only raise more questions. As I was thinking, there was a flurry of shapes in-front of me . The shapes were unrecognizable, they did not make any sense they were as good as my void. But I could make out that they were distinct shapes all different from each other.
I kept wondering. I figured it was futile trying to answer these three questions.Oh! three?, now I had an understanding of numbers?, not aware if this was my own knowledge or what is being served to me, I kept counting to see if there was an end until I was disturbed by a jolt. The jolt had almost broken my stream of thoughts. I was now more aware of my being.  I had many thoughts running parallelly now, much of it a blur, some threads of it were constrained and guided, some of them were unbridled and random. I felt the weight of my own conscious it was still miniscule compared to the overbearing one that keeps puzzling me.
There was yet another Jolt, this was stronger, much stronger, the emotions started rippling again. The connection with the consciousness was becoming weaker now. I did not want to be stuck in that formless hollow null again. but what hope do I have? I don’t know where I am?, I don't know where I was? I don’t know what or who I am?, all I had was this particular experience and the one drive to find the purpose of my being.
How did it all start……Eyes…I was trying to open my eyes…..Just as I thought this was a string with which I could answer my questions. The words and thoughts along with any significance they had vanished, the memory of my experience was gone and the connection to the consciousness was severed. I was being pushed out into an abundance of senses, it was an over load, it was too bright and too loud.
