The chaos engulf us in the daily grind
taking us down
It’s funny we survived this roller coaster ride
without getting of
without falling off
Should it not be a gentle and serene tide
that everybody hoped and wished for
But we settle down for this
In this rampant chaos, we call reality
We barely could hear each other
in this incessant, percussive sounds
We make us deaf and pushes us around
We barely could listen to our heartbeats
Our heads are spinning around
We are strumming to the drumbeat
Walking in unison
trying to match beats with the rhythm around
Within this rampant chaos
We tried to tune ourselves
to the magical Pied Piper
We are blindly going down
as we are going down
We are marching to the tune
We all are going down
tone-deaf to the symphony around us
We all are going down
Blind as a bat
unable to see the blinding healing light
We all are going down.

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts.
I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones.
I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly.
Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation.
Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.
