Loveless!

When you are far away from Love...
When you are chaotic and insensitive ...
When you look at everything around
And weep silently for stability!

When you are a complete mess
And cannot pick yourself up...
When you are in bed most of the time
Dreaming about a brighter tomorrow

When you are exhausted
And yearn for a break
Knowing not what you must break
When you are that broken piece...

That's when it is easy to find God
That energy source that's within
But always portrayed as outside
And called as divine for all wrong reasons!

That's where you find the "just enough courage"
To start over again with new found wisdom
To look at life and say "Here I come again"
And whistle to your own tune

When that happens, I know I am normal
I have completed one more of my
Pathetic inevitable circles of life
And life moves on as usual!

(I know it doesn't make any sense ... so much for the Tuesday blues!)

I belong here!

The Righteous:
 They told me I am wrong
 “You can never be virtuous;
 You must atone for your sins"
 I added ‘sin’ to my dictionary…
The Spiritual:
 They told me everything is unreal
 “You are trapped in your own illusions,
 What you think exists, doesn’t exist”
 I did try to forget my existence…
The Idealist:
 They told me it’s not enough
 “Perfection is never easy;
 Work hard and you may achieve it”
 I shuddered at my imperfections…
The Adventurous:
 They came with grand plans
 “Get out and explore the world,
 Scale the mountains and dive deep into the sea”
 The more I did, the more I missed home…
The Kindhearted:
 They hugged me closer and whispered
 “It’s all right whatever you do; every single thing
 But please do remember, there is always a price to pay”
 And I paid them with a single tear…

Me:
        Finally I am back
       To the place where I started
       The group where I really belong;
       The group of simple Idiots!
