Wake Up Call

Wake Up Call

 

I am convinced now,

There was darkness in my journey till today;

I never saw the beauty along my way,

I did not discern my loved ones and now I pray,

Never bothered to go back to any of my day;

I am a coward and today I pray.

I remember few phone calls and few letters exchanged;

Now I identify the aroma, everything changed,

I linger in this yester year’s street;

I had a life below these newly layered concrete,

Help me remove the blackness of this path,

Help me remove that blackness from my past.

I was never the man that you call now,

There was darkness in my journey;

I never noticed somehow,

I can hear all those laughter’s from the distant land,

Even remember the castle in the sand;

I have come a long way, my friend.

I am drenched in this monsoon rain;

Tear and water oozing in pain,

Who lost? It’s a zero sum game!

I can board the flight but today I will take the train,

Let me trace each moment back to those rain;

Back to my youth and back to Insane,

Tomorrow could be my last breath,

And this, my last read,

Tomorrow can change destiny,

I have seen and lived with hope, so many,

Leaving all that you gained, little uncanny,

Your folks need you and your granny.
