Free from fear

 

Free from fear

 

A toddler crawled towards the sea;
No fear or scare of the gushing water,
Nearer and nearer, to the sea he reached.
Sea or land, he knew no fear.
 
The rumblings of waves,
Howling of the wind,
Droplets of water all over his face,
Made him not cry, for he knew no fear.
 
Water engulfed the toddler, but,
Receded as quickly as it came.
Assured him that all was well.
And he laughed aloud, for he knew no fear.
 
Learn from the toddler
To be free from all fear.
For we aren’t planners of life or death
That cycle remains but a mystery, safe in His hands. 

Pushing sadness away.

 Pushing sadness away

My tears lost their way,
Tried to reach me, but I kept away. 
But then, happiness found its way. 
Right into my heart to push sadness away.

With my heart now light as ever
I glided onto the dance floor
Swirled and swayed to heart’s content
With steps blending with every beat.
 
The musical symphony at its best
Played that music you loved the most.
Your absence never mattered
For that music reverberated loud and clear.
 
But that music, too, would stop.
Do come over. You and me are all that matters.
Hand in hand, let’s slip away
Into that hamlet, where we always belonged.
