Few Shadows That Spill Light!

Once when I was sitting on threshold where day meets night...Pain was sitting, saying, " When I shall befriend thou, Thou shall know- "What A Gift is this life!"" A chill of cold numbness encapsulated my spine...for why would one ever welcome pain, when one knows, how it rips open all that's life. Yet! I said to her, "Pain, O! Pain, what if I embraced thou...will it not be an end of a story to tell... She smiled with her eyes, those deep blue of an evening sky, saying, why beg for stars, when thy tears alone shall sparkle the night sky....why fret my dear one, for when I take away something....I add much more to that Beautiful Self. And so magical and bewitching her gaze on me, she held...that willingly my feet walked as my soul she enwrapped in her silent spell. And then the world beneath my feet she pulled it out. And on my knees I stood with a piercing pain in my soul. And as I traveled through time, in her embrace, her soft hands clasped all that I thought was mine. Many a feet that walked along, left...for their minds were weak, by fears and desires, and all that they saw within me, was beyond their narrowed-little-self They saw me as failure, while Pain was weaving in me wings of Faith and Hope. They gaged me with worldly achievements, while she had swept away the world from me long ago. They couldn't fathom, how on earth could souls live day in and day out with such pain and hence their weak minds judged and tongue slithered venomous words. For their desires made them bargain their hearts, which all the while were whispering to them- O! Listen to me, Love-Alone, Judge-Naught!" But they were so lost in the judgments of their mind, offended even by the pain, that tore my body, Yet! It Made them cry- Cry in Rage, Cry in Anger, For A Men of many desires...nothing can ever make them happy, even if they'll have all the gifts of this universe. Pain, then looked at me with such intent, and in that piercing glance, she revealed to me the Truth of my Self! For we live in a world spun with lies, we speak the words of minds, that are manupilative, bargaining the essence of hearty-smiles. We try to twist and peck and mould and fret, we try to justify all our ruffled edges, and calculate our givings as sacrifices. But have we ever given if we've kept a count??? Oh! Have we ever Sacrificed, when our desires are not met, leaving us with lines that frown??? Pain showed me the way to a simple living, A truthful living, living from ones heart. For when thou become a child, God embraces you in his arms. So, now I stand here, with the most broken of body, for Pain in her embrace took away all that wasn't mine....And I truly understand, how indeed Blessed am I- "For I live with that Fearless Heart Of A Child!" In this entire world it's okay if everyone around chooses to leave, make sure, your Self Alone is thy Strength and Gift! So, if Pain knocks at your door asking shall I embrace thou....Know! She'll certainly take, all that you thought was yours....Until She'll give you the True Strength of your Soul! ( In a world where we are too scared to be alone by ourselves, and by that I mean, when the world is pulled out beneath your feet- your identity, work, relations everything is taken. Yet! You are kissed within with such beauty, that words of Hope, pour their essence and sing songs of Truth, that echoes till all eternity) . Coco, one of the few ones that walk along .
