Perspective

How do you know if your world has crashed?

How can you tell one thing isn’t right when all of it is in disarray?

You need a frame of reference,

One thing to measure it by

One thing that stayed as it was, that didn’t crash

While everything around did…

But you notice not what stayed,

All you can see is the chaos,

All you worry about is what’s not there anymore

What can never come back…

It takes but a second to catch your own reflection

Off of some broken shiny object

To make you realize that you are the one thing that is still upright

The only thing that remained

Intact, if only by appearance…

It takes several moments more

For you to realize there is only one thing to do

Try and resuscitate whatever can be

And to clean up the mess the rest made

And as you try to start to do so

And fail at each attempt,

Just as you are about to give up,

You realize all you need is a change of perspective

All that crashed, was you

Everything else remained just the same as before

Rain and Reminiscence

"The saddest thing about love is that not only does it not last forever,

but even the heartache is soon forgotten..."

It's my favorite season, the monsoons.
Written in memory of the floods in Bombay on 26th July 2005.

It's an emotion I've had.
but most of all, a few days after i wrote this post, I actually had a similar day... coincidence? I think not!

here's the link:
