As the Heart Meanders...
It’s time to move on as they say..
It’s time to begin a new life but once again...
I don’t know how to go about this time...
How to let go off the emotions,
That I held so dearly in my heart...
My mind refuses to believe
That it wasn’t as beautiful as it all seemed to be...
The thoughts of that yesterday still embedded in my mind
Drown me more in pain and I only see mist before my eyes...
How wonderful it all looked...
For I thought it was all for real...
I’d never thought it to be otherwise!
Does it take courage to start again?
Or more.. I wonder..
I don’t know if I have the courage to do so
But something tells me that tomorrow will come and it shall be a beautiful one
A new one!
There’s always hope for a tomorrow
There’s always a new dawn awaiting us..
I wonder if I am ready for a new dawn..
The now seems empty and scary at times...
But I shall have to start once again...
I know not how it will happen..
Time heals everything is the old adage..
I only wish the yesterday wasn’t as painful
That would need a healing..
Even though my heart quivers while I say this..
I’ll gear up again, once again...
Rise above these emotions..
And welcome a tomorrow
That once again
Guru Sahib Ji would bring...
A happy and a generous one is what my heart says...
"Sukh Saagar Gurdey Hai.... "

The things are never started or they never end, it is all the part of the play of Waheguru Ji. We think that we are in the driver's seat but we are just passenger even in the journey of our life. There are lessons and experiences that we learn, which remain with us. Tomorrow is another day in the journey and make most of it, more than learning from it, enjoy it. As they say life is unpredictable.
