Stars of the Sky

Stars of the Sky

Look so near

But each step says

One more step dear!

Stars of the sky

Look so dear

But ever given a thought

How they look from near----

Heat,dust

Nebulous smoke

Everything to

Make us choke

Stars of the sky

Look so near

But each step says

One more step dear!

Step by step

I have walked a mile too long

Everything looks so dear

from here----

-the stars,

the things that ,

to me, until now were near!

Lost!

She walked around lost
The city seemed to have forgotten her
Or was it she who had forgotten her way
It was not clear

She was sad, her eyes lifeless
They reminded one of the time
She had been happy
Around men
Now she walked alone
In the forest—dead and
Gone, No animals to keep her company
The men had taken them all

Far away in the city
The men had lost it all—
Their minds I mean;
They lived or rather
Walked around doing their
Things
No time to share a thing
Let alone joy
They laughed a lot- not that they had forgotten how to
But it was more a laughter
Of mirth than merry
Proving each other how happy they were
Trying hard to forget
Let alone let others know
How unhappy they were
Deep down there—the heart-
Once a hearth of warmth
Now lay cold—not a piece of wood or pinch of ash
to be seen
--No, the fires had burnt long back-Everybody
had forgotten when

In their minds some cursed
Themselves
For having shunned her—yes
She knew how to make them
Happy-she could light
their hearths again
But alas, where was one to find her now
Had they shunned
Or had she left, no one to turn to, no one to save her
Lost in theirselves
Everybody had forgotten her-
Alas for too long- for now she had left……
Never to return again
