History Repeats itself...

Things were falling apart,
Like pointed arrows always missing the dart

Trusting others was not the question
when the soul itself was shaky
Nebulous was the past and the current
and the future looked equally quaky

That was the time when the slightest doubts were quashed
Negative reactions, utter callousness and brash expressions unabashed

The time you need them most
Like the sea struck ship..far away from the coast
Akin to the wailing infant looking desperately for the mother
Or reaching the dead end of the road--and you cannot go any further

In fullest form--they give it back to you
Your beliefs and expectations shattered- no cause, no clue
The law of extremes follows --the bad turns worse
You are at the receiving end of some long awaiting curse
Alone , unanchored you stand--more devastated than before
Lost in the dismal abyss-with nobody to nurse

But post the catharsis you gather
It was all good for you--rather

The few people, beliefs and interactions
help you in your resurrection
You come closer to your soul
Which now defines your each moment, each role and every goal

Post the self discovery
easy streaming to your recovery
your mind str4eams get their new way
Your life is no longer in a disarray

Sunny days are back..
The ship has survived the potential shipwreck
The infant smiling on the mother's lap
Where is the dead end--your soul is your guide and map

Those people remain the same--but times change
Afterall--nature's law states that nothing is immutable
Ofcourse you knew it all , its neither absurd nor strange
This Reality has always been depicted in every raconteur's fable

You smirk at those shallow cow-hearts-with their souls totally camouflaged
You suddenly feel a new calm-There's no reason for you to get enraged

Looking at them and reflecting-- you feel like laughing aloud
You raise your hands to almighty-standing out of that crowd
You thank him very deep from your heart
As History repeats itself but now you deftly play your part

Vineet said...

hat was a beautiful piece of poetry. Its theme is wonderful.... Believe in Yourself.... The Power of Introspection.... The power of your thoughts and that your beliefs, your soul can guide you out of any difficult situation. And I like the way it used the sarcasm in the beginning to its advantage in the end. And it ends on such an optimistic and happy note :)Well Done n very well written!
