ISHI M DASS
It’s painful
To just sit and do nothing
To wait
For that something
That you know is out there
And should’ve come by now
But the fact that it hasn’t come yet
Makes you cringe
It feels like you’ve got
Insects crawling under your skin
And they’ve already started
Eating you up from within
You feel so hot inside
And this is when you aren’t
Even close to catching fever
But it’s so hot you just can’t
Bear it anymore
It’s like you’ve got a volcano
Inside you, that’s surely
On the verge of erupting
And when it explodes
You know that you’ve already lost control
The fire that could’ve been put out
Has just finished burning your soul
Now this story could’ve had
An alternate ending
The art of perseverance
Is the key to blend in
Sometimes the wait is long
It’s longer than what a city
Struck with catastrophe
Takes to reassemble
It’s longer than a complete discography
Of a famous rock n roll band
From the early 90s
It’s heart-breaking and
Sometimes, you just can’t
You can’t take it anymore
But just a minute before
This very moment comes
To hit you on your face
With full force
You’ve got to take
A step back
To reassess
Your walking track
Check for the signboards
Or a milestone
Is there a turn ahead?
Or are you almost home?
The dream you’ve been chasing
Might be just a mile away
So put a lid on your volcano
There’s no time to turn away
The path of life
Knows no other direction
You’ve got to keep moving forward
Cause there is no permit for retraction.
It’s beautiful my adorable lil brother.. It is that real fact of life which cannot be ignored to experience in the lives of those who love to chase their dreams and calling.
God bless you abundantly
