Dear Someone

Dear Someone,

I don't know who you are or even, if you are.

All I know is, I need you to listen to me,

to hear what I have to say -

even if - I can't think of anything worthwhile to say...

Because I am bored and lonely and too full of myself.

I want to drown my thoughts,

pour words in your ears -

even if - they don't mean anything.

Sometimes having someone by your side is the only therapy you need.

But someone, I don't just mean to banter,

I want to listen too...

And I promise it won't just be a one-way conversation

I want to hear you out too, know you, your dreams, your goals, your fears, your sorrows, what keeps you going, but, most importantly what brings a smile on your face!

Because anything that makes you smile reciprocates and magnifies the smile on my face and so many other faces...

I know you are not here but somehow it doesn't feel like it.

I'll tell you what it feels like though...

It feels like the sky & sunshine, rain & rainbows, a gentle breeze & sand dunes, roses & lotuses...

Yes talking to you is just like that, magical in each and every way.

And that is why even if you aren't here, I can still feel your presence -

just like my shadow, never leaving my side.

And after we're done talking -

that is - in reality - me throwing my thoughts into this void, which, ironically encompasses the whole universe...

I know someone, we'll be miraculously healed!

Flight of a bird

I spotted this little bird,

Singing her merry song for me,

Painted in myriad colours and pitches 

Her whimsical tune of reality.

It hopped on from tree to tree -

Twittering, chirping playfully,

Then caught its flight back again

To the horizon of eternity.

Still squatted on my reclining chair, I -

reminisced about the pretty bird which left me

in reality, but, never in spirit,

while the sunrays played peek-a-boo with me -

alight on my soul mystically.

And then the bird took flight again,

Only this time in my mind's garden - to ascertain -

life's merry song perching in my soul -

the bird flew never to leave me alone...
