In that space starved,
yet so cozy balcony!
On my D-Day, the 20th,
in that serene evening,
I stood still n lonely!
While everything around,
be it nature, or man made,
was in geared motion!
And, I fondly looked at
that glass in my hand,
full of emptiness, but
with ocean of emotions!
Emotions of this journey,
explored so far……
From rags to bit of riches,
amidst trials n glitches!
and even sets of insecurities!
The highs of climbing crests,
lows of perceived troughs!
memories of humans,
and not so humans!
Purest feel for loved ones,
and being loved by them!
The offsprings making
you stressful at times!
and at times let you feel
proud, n extremely prime!
With every sip, I felt
the love in the air!
No matter, even if,
romance hardly dare!
The little breeze gently
stroking my closed eyes,
and whispering in ears….
An interesting teaser!
How old you turned today,
you age resistant man?
I smiled at the young lady,
and responded back…
Let it be an illusion of
a narcissist like mine, but
It doesn’t feels like a man,
rather a recycled teenager!
Like you, sweetheart,
I get breather, whenever
you bridge the breezer!
As my glass got refilled,
time and again,
wanted to have a little
chat with my mind!
Normally it speaks a lot,
but on this special day,
It just kept a low grind!
Remained as if, it had
barely any words to say!
Perhaps, it is because….
Against alter ego n inertia,
the journey has developed,
a deep sense of gratitude,
and an iota of gracia!
Ability to do the self audit,
contentment getting latitude!
Whether I am running for me
Or when life makes me run!
Gradually, subtly n quietly,
night sneaked into evening!
Far in the horizons, I saw
a magical focused lightning!
As if asking me for a wish.
The greed didn’t let me
select only one niche,
among many choices!
rather I remained shy!
The light finally vanished,
leaving me excited but dry!
What a miss! Isn’t it so?
Not really though…..
As soon as last drink dried,
Thunder started knocking,
and it started raining outside!
Water became the rescuer
in releasing the emotions!
free flowing in its embrace,
as if without any notions!
So, I hardly lost much,
not even the wish per-se!
The real feeling was
that I found myself, say!
The rain kept advising me,
Hey young Rajeev!
Be the lover of self,
The way you always are!
Why sweat the small stuff?
blessed is the word,
Even if not perfect,
you are just enough!!
