Alone.

Standing today-alone
the world seems apart

Standing near the sea
its salty waters touching my feet
reminding me of approach

Approach of parents,friends & god

Alone as i walk down the beach.
I wish to see those on the other side.

But that endless expanse reminds me-
There is nobody.
you are alone-down the salty road I travel

The mirages on this ocean
seem like the smiles I see..
as I smile back-
they disappear

The sun on the horizon
sets gradually leaving me stranded in darkness & despair

light seems to willow out from all corners
I remember the good times

those times when there was light all around
the laughter,cheerfulness & gaity
friends,enjoyment & laughter again & again

but..............
these are bygone now
no friends,no laughter,no gaity

all alone today

all the light has gone out

I can hear the waves dancing,
making merry ,splashing & gay......
but as they come near me......
they disappear...............

I hold out my hands
nothing comes but the salty water

that laughter seems an alien sound
in an alien world
where all my people are-my parents,my friends,my past

Aloof I stand in this darkness

Waiting for the sun to light up.
Waiting for a dawn
Waiting for a beginning
Waiting for a Renaissance.............
