Quest for Life


Isn’t it enthralling? 

How known have you been for the people 

Now they became ‘stranger’

But the most startling fact is 

Those ‘Strangers’ are like burning embers into a flame, 

They caught us off guard and burned us like ash.

They leave wounds that blemished our souls. 

On this journey what should I do to heal or wallow? 

Is it too much to ask to be able to breathe again? 

Hence breathing without devastation is another game to play. 

They say – things have changed, but I have lost myself 

I say – I evolved myself and found my soul what it needs to be.
