She plodded on,
Onward and Upward
Creating a new path
Despite the tumbles
"This hard work would help
The Voice would become better
There'd be a new path
That'd be my work"
She thought hard
She thought long
And took this path
The new, hard path.
She failed to realize
The Voice was failing
That this work sapped
Its remaining strength
For now, the Voice needed
Not tough love but touch love
Not needles but nourishment
Not revolutions but recuperation
A rejuvenation to its former self
A restoration to its former glory
A replenishment of its former strength
The strength that was the Voice's and its alone
She realized it midway,
And looked frantically to the elixir
She looked with disappointment
At the uncompleted new way
Though she was sure
About the new way's need
She wasn't sure (if)
Her work was to satisfy that need
Her loyalties to the Voice,
She searched for another path
That took her to the elixir
In time to save the Voice
She wandered about
Dragging the Voice along
In the deep dark jungle
That obscured all the paths
She stumbled upon a path
That pointed to the elixir
It strangely looked similar
To a forgotten erstwhile one
"Tis the same, take this one"
The Voice breathed a small whisper
Drew a sharp short breath
And fainted on her bare shoulders
With the weight on her thin shoulders
She thought hard but fast
Decided to take the familiar path
And leave the new one for another day
She wasn't sure if she'd return
Return to finish this work
But she knew she needed new tools
For the game of this path is different
She wasn't even sure (if)
This path took to the elixir
But knew this one (was)
Better than the new one.
What surprises Fate has
She has no idea
Nor does she understand
Why she had to create the new path
All she knows is
To keep the Voice alive
She needs to be here and now
And move onward and upward.
Lets wish her good luck
And Godspeed in her work
To reach the elixir soon
To get the Voice again!

The Middle path
Undecided she was
Under an Alpine tree
Dreams or Trust?
Doth the question
She stood a long time
Deep in thought
She wanted both
Dreams and Trust
Yes! She was selfish
In wanting both
Yet she was ready
In giving up other stuff
To get the path she wanted
To realize the dream
To rejuvenate herself
To reclaim the prize!
She started walking in the middle
With the Voice looking on
She forged a way through the middle
With the Voice cheering on
She was treading the road not created
She was creating that read
She was making something live
Sheer will power, I should say!
She came across a chasm on her path,
In dire need of a bridge
A bridge of sweat, honor and phoenix feathers,
Cemented by solitude
This bridge was needed for all
To cross the chasm and claim the prize
This bridge was her dedication to Voice
To gain the elixir for her Voice!

Towards the elixir
She moved through the forest
With the Voice in tow
Searching for the elixir
Needed for the Voice
She sparred and stunned
With the Voice standing near
Offsetting the traps (that)
Ensnared the path of elixir
She matched wits to wits
With the Voice getting weaker
Solved the puzzles (and)
Lighted the path to elixir
Now,
She stands at a junction
With the Voice almost limp
Two roads before her
Which one to the elixir?
Caution pushes her to one
Trust pushes her to another
Dreams push her to one
Practices push her to another
Brought up in trust
Hard to leave that path
Fueled by dreams
Harder still to leave that path
Pained by caution
Hard to take that path
Singed by practices
Harder still to take that path
O ye Universe,
Guide her through
For she is fighting
To save her guidance
To save her world
To save her Voice
With the Voice in tow
Searching for the elixir
Needed for the Voice
She sparred and stunned
With the Voice standing near
Offsetting the traps (that)
Ensnared the path of elixir
She matched wits to wits
With the Voice getting weaker

Hard to take that path
Singed by practices
Harder still to take that path
O ye Universe,
Guide her through
For she is fighting
To save her guidance
To save her world
To save her Voice

Demons of Time!!
She was happy
She was singing
Suddenly
She heard the Voice cry
She was flabbergasted
She hadn't encountered it before
She didn't know what to do
She called to the Voice
She wondered
Wondered about what was wrong
She worried
Worried about how to set it right
The Voice came
The Voice was sobbing
Slowly
The Voice told her the reason
"My friend died
Died of skepticism
Died of overdose of cynicism
Died of lack of care"
The Voice quivered
Quivered with sorrow and fear
The Voice waned
Waned so much that listening became harder
She was shocked
Shocked to see the Voice's waning voice
Of present, of the moment
She remembered
Remembered the Voice's exuberant voice
Of past, of yore
She realized
She had drawn upon the Voice
To pull her through trials and tribulations
She had leaned on the Voice
Through troubles and thunders
She realized
The Voice needed her care now
To bring it back to its past glory
The Voice required nourishment
Lack of which, it would wane to forever
She was afraid
Afraid if she was worth the task
Afraid if she had it in her
To pull them both through this ordeal
She knew
Knew that she can do it
Knew that the time has come
To put the Voice's teachings into practice
She rose to the task
The task that will raise them both
The Voice followed this time
Happy that it had done a worthy deed
The Voice was sure
That it was in good hands
She was determined
To heal the wounds of skepticism
She and the Voice
They battle the demons of time again!
Let us wish them the best
For they need it, in their own ways!
[Mourning the loss of a friend's Voice.... er, Voice's friend!! Amen!]

Change of guard!
She loved life!
Loved everything in it
Every minute
Every second
Every moment
She lived life!
Lived everything of it
Every experience
Every emotion
Every fibre
She gave a lot,
And took a lot back
She had a lot of stuff
Even from the simplest of interactions
She decided to pare down
Even if it meant letting go
She threw stuff out
Gleaned from long-over endeavors
She built life!
Built everything from it
From the foundation
From the scratch
From the beginning
She changed life!
Changed everything in it
From the heart
From the sheath
From the mind
The foundation was shaky
She stabilized it with her mind
The beginning left her in the dark
She kindled a lantern from her heart
The start was scary and alone
She started it with her sheath
The path shivered her to the deeps
She took a ray of hope from her soul
The Voice smiled
Smiled at everything there!
At the decisions
At the changes
At the intensity
The Voice serenaded
Serenaded with questions there!
At the plans
At the thoughts
At the rules
The Voice was concerned
That the decisions were too fast
That the changes won't stand
That that intensity was against her nature
That the plans weren't well laid out
That the thoughts weren't well reasoned out
That the rules were too harsh
The serenading continued....
The Voice was worried
Worried that she was stressed
And making changes too fast
She was firm
The rules had changed
So, she better change too
The Voice said
'Don't go against your nature
You'll hurt yourself'
She said
'I won't go against my soul
I'm just letting it heal'
'By not pouring myself
To every cup in this world
And letting myself go dry'
'By not worrying about others
And unworrying about me
Acting too silly to keep everyone grown up'
'They can defend, they can do
The world doesn't need me to heal
The world goes on, even without me'
'Though my scent is rare and precious
It can live without me
I need myself, I need me'
The Voice understood
Her expectations needed a break
A break from family
A break from friends
A break from the world
The Voice thought
She needs herself now
Herself to heal
Herself to be happy
Herself to find meaning
The voice chided itself
For not seeing this happen
For concentrating too much on the out
For not seeing the health of the soul
The Voice wondered what to say
For this was a matter of the soul
It didn't have experience in it
Nor a soul to understand
She said
'Do you get it now?
For I need you to guide me through'
The Voice said
'I do get it now
But I can't guide you through'
'I don't understand matters of soul
For its not the heart or the mind
Which is child's play to me'
'Soul searches are like a cave
You can come upon diamonds
Or upon skulls and bones'
'Be prepared for both
But I feel its more the diamonds
Than the skulls in this place'
'Keep your ray of hope shining
For that is the link to your soul
And that will guide us through'
'Through the best of times
And through the worst of times
But always remember why the rules changed'
'That is the food for your lantern
The shovel for your mind
And the nutrition for your sheath'
She and the Voice
Hand in hand,
Walk the ray lit path.
The path was rough
This was a path less taken
And they needed each other
It all came to this in the end
The test had begun
And the rules of life had changed.
Lets wish them both
Give them time to heal
And keep a prayer on our lips!

Results tarried
She was tired
She was frustrated
She was angry
Tired at the work
Frustrated at the result
Angry at the state
The Voice was worried
The Voice was concerned
The Voice was quiet
Worried at her thoughts
Concerned at her feelings
Quiet at her anger
She lashed out
There was desperation
And she was at the center
The Voice caught it
There was courage
And it was at the center
She wasn't sure
She couldn't believe
She couldn't not believe
The Voice wasn't sure
It couldn't understand
It couldn't not understand
She thought of past
A smile played on her lips
She decided to believe
Completely!
The Voice thought of future
A smile played in its tone
It promised to understand
Totally!
The Universe laughed
The Universe played
The Universe tarried (but)
The Universe pushed
The Universe pulled
The Universe gave results
The Voice understood
The Voice sighed a relief
The Voice was happy
The Voice encouraged
The Voice showed
What it understood
She was excited
She took heart
In what she believed

An Angel's visit
Oh! she sat
She waited
The angel said, she will come
She saw
She worried
The angel came, in a different form
She started
The angel asked
"You want me, or my form?"
She wondered
She decided
"I want you, not your form"
The angel laughed
The angel winked
"You'll get me, and my form"
The Voice listened
The Voice was proud
"She made a choice, the right one!"
The Voice understood
The Voice was happy
"I taught her, and taught her well"
The Voice said
In a emotion filled tone
"Thanks for it all!"
The angel smiled
The angel cared
For both were in need of her
Her and her services
Her and her love
Her and her magic, all thru her
She'll do her best
They deserve it
But for now, this form is fine
She and the Voice
Comforted by the angel
Comforted by each other and their choices
They went to sleep
The angel went to work
All was quiet, peace with the world.
She waited
The angel said, she will come

All was quiet, peace with the world.

Be there!
She moved in this world
A world of new beginnings
A world of new thoughts
A world of new starts
She met people
People from different walks of life
People from different countries
People from different parts of life
She felt unfettered
From the people
From the world
From life
She was scared
Scared of the new freedom
Scared of the new actions
Scared of the new life
The Voice understood
Understood her concerns
Understood her worries
Understood her unanswered questions
The Voice reflected
How to explain
How to simplify
How to break it in
The Voice said
"Tis yours to enjoy,
Tis yours to work on,
Tis yours to live!"
The Voice showed
Showed the uses of freedom
Showed the beauty of action
Showed the meaning of life
The Voice warned
Of the ever present slip
Of the ever present danger
Of the ever present oblivion
She vowed to remember
Remember this freedom
Remember these actions
Remember this life
For,
it is the milk of the universe
the honey that sweetens life
the elixir that man is after
She vowed to work hard,
Hard to keep this freedom
Hard to repeat these actions
Hard to live this life
For,
Hard work prevents slips
Hard work protects from danger
Hard work obliterates the oblivion
The Voice was glad
Glad that she understood
Glad that she related to it
Glad that she knew
For,
Knowledge brings maturity
Knowledge brings care
Knowledge brings wisdom
The Voice supported her
In preventing the slips
In protecting from danger
In obliterating the oblivion
For,
The Voice is there to nourish
The Voice is there to elevate
The Voice is there to "be there"
A world of new beginnings
A world of new thoughts

Unchartered territory!
She opened her eyes
She was in a different place
A place that she had not known
A place that hadn't existed so far
She squinted her eyes
She was afraid of the landscape
A landscape that was unfamiliar
A landscape that had dangers within
She had to get up
She had to look around
Around to familiarize herself
Around to learn the rules of the land
She checked her person
She checked her belongings
Belongings that still held her
Belongings that had strings attached
Should she give away those belongings?
Should she cut off the strings?
Don't they act as an armor too?
Don't they protect her vulnerabilities?
The Voice saw her indecision
The Voice understood her concern
Concern of being naked
Concern of being attacked
The Voice saw the inventory
The Voice chuckled with delight
The Voice then made the suggestion
In a light voice that heralded new life
Take the intelligence and courage
Take the lessons learned,
Take the memories of pain and pleasure
And the compassion to all humans
Leave the anger, the cowardice
Leave the dependence, the coercions
Leave your curiosity of others
And the fear of future for it weighs you down
This land is different, more so than last
It holds good and bad, beauty and ugliness
It has its own rules, rules to learn
Rules to survive, play and conquer
You can never return to the old plane
Move on, move away,
Explore this land for its given to you
Find out, find life!
Hold the strings if you want
But never tie them to you
Coz it should be in your power
Power to hold them and leave them
Forget the old plane,
the sooner the better
For you have no time to lose,
And the past is gone for good
This is a time of change, look deep within
Keep the strings close to your heart,
Toss the rest around, for
The space inside is limited
And worthless junk is better tossed out
She was confused
But understood all the same
Sat to remove the strings
The strings that were junk
Hard work, I can tell you
But hard work always pays
She understood that well
And checked each string of life
Some were diamonds, some were junk
She put each through the acid test
Some disintegrated, some stood
But some glowed after the test
She now knew which ones to hold
And which ones to throw
Since she can't have it all
And use it all through her life.
She was too precious
Precious to hold onto junk
She understood the Voice's concern
And thanked God for the Voice
She moved on, moved on in the land
The land that held promises for her
The land whose rules she will learn
The land that she'll survive, play and conquer!
She was in a different place
A place that she had not known
A place that hadn't existed so far

Life and all its pleasures!!
She was bored
She was tired
With life and all its pleasures
She was dissipated
She was too happy
Happy without a goal defined
She didn't realize
Realize the gravity
The gravity of losing a goal
She lost track
Track of the journey's end
As the journey was too pleasant
She loved pleasant life
Life without any worries
Coz her rewards came, and sweet were they!
The Voice thought
The Voice decided
To make her get a goal
The Voice pushed
The Voice prodded
Schemed to make pleasures harder to get
The Voice argued with her
To leave petty differences
To forget things that sucked time
The Voice enlightened her
Her journey's end came in mind
A mind now filled with the end and end only
The Voice made her see reason
Reason that fueled her
Fueled to get the promised rewards, and work began!
She was tired
With life and all its pleasures
She was dissipated
She was too happy
Happy without a goal defined
She didn't realize
Realize the gravity
The gravity of losing a goal
She lost track
Track of the journey's end
As the journey was too pleasant
She loved pleasant life
Life without any worries
Coz her rewards came, and sweet were they!
The Voice thought
The Voice decided
To make her get a goal
The Voice pushed
The Voice prodded
Schemed to make pleasures harder to get
The Voice argued with her
To leave petty differences
To forget things that sucked time
The Voice enlightened her
Her journey's end came in mind
A mind now filled with the end and end only
The Voice made her see reason
Reason that fueled her
Fueled to get the promised rewards, and work began!

Enchanted!!
There she sat,
On a mound,
With the snow blanket around her
The moonlight streamed,
Beating a path,
Through the snow blanket around her
Her pink cheeks gave a soft glow,
From the falling rays,
Reflected from the whitish snow around her
She sat and waited
Waited for the miracle to happen
The enchantment that was part of the snowy cold moonlit night.
There hovered the voice
In between the tree branches
Along the mist from the snowy ground
The moonlight streamed,
Passing through it,
Slicing through the mist in the air
The voice gave a gasp
From the mixture of the mist
Surrounding it from all directions
The voice hovered and waited
Waited for her to see the miracle
The enchantment that was part of the misty cold moonlit night
And then she saw it
And then the voice showed it
Now she was content and knew herself
Now the voice was happy that it did its job
She went back to ordinary life determined
The voice moved back into the mists calmed
All that was left was the moonlight
All that was left was the snow
All that was left was the night stars
Enchanted!!!

Home and away!!
She was moving
She was traveling
A wandering soul to say the least
She was tired
She was weary
A wretched life to say the least
The voice worried
The voice counseled
A thoughtful thought to say the least
She saw the SOL
She saw the island
A place with meaning to say the least
She understood the greatness
She understood the wonder
A magnificent monument to say the least
The voice waited
The voice wondered
A curious position to say the least
She paid homage
She paid tribute
An awe inspiring experience to say the least
She was anchored
She was safe
A homecoming of sorts to say the least
The voice was assured
The voice was at peace
A happy interlude to say the least
She was traveling
A wandering soul to say the least
She was tired
She was weary
A wretched life to say the least

The End of Something
She was enjoying
She was having fun
She was living life to the fullest
Suddenly,
She understood something
Or the lack of something
She stood still
The reality hit her
A pain seared through her heart
A tear rolled down her cheek
The voice was content
The voice was calm
The voice was at peace with itself
Suddenly,
The voice sensed something
Or the lack of something
It was time
Time to show her the reality
A reality that would pain her
A reality that would make her cry
The voice consoled her
She was unconsoled
The voice reasoned with her
She said that this was beyond reason
The voice argued with her
She was too tired to argue
Because this something sapped her energy
Her love for life,
Her interest in life,
Her peace with the world.
The voice didn't give up
The voice persisted
The voice dinned sense into her
And let the pain dull and tear dry
She was battered
She was bruised
She didn't want anymore of it
But still she went on in life
Because Life doesn't end with something
Life dulls the pain
Life dries the tear
And life goes on.
The voice showed her strength
The voice stood rock-solid
The voice guided her by hand
She followed the voice
She followed its reason
She followed it by hand
The Voice and She
Emerged stronger in this contest
More understanding of each other
More clear of each other's goal
And more trusting on each other.
All that was left
Left of the something
A few words and actions
A dull pain in her heart
And an infinite wisdom for the voice.

The scene
She was standing...
She was having fun...
She was relaxed...
It was a perfect scene...
It was life all over...
It was good...
She tensed...
She was expectant...
She was waiting...
It was the same place...
It was the same car...
But the scene was different...
The voice calmed her...
The voice soothed her...
The voice explained...
It was a dream...
It was unreal...
It was good...
The voice clarified to her...
The voice encouraged her...
The voice understood her...
It was the same place...
It was the same car...
It was a different scene...
She was having fun...

The rest of darkness
“He was here”, a voice said.
“He was there”, a second voice piped in.
“And she lay there”, a third voice screamed.
She was shocked.
Shocked to hear voices.
Voices that didn’t have any relation to her.
The Voice was quiet
The Voice was thinking.
Thinking how to convey things clearly to her.
“Don’t worry”, the Voice said.
“This is the aftermath”, the Voice consoled.
“The rest of what was there”, the Voice reasoned.
She looked around.
She understood.
And moved on with a prayer in her heart.
The Voice sighed.
The Voice prayed too.
For eternal rest for the souls of the dead.
[This was written after going to the infamous Norris Hall where lives were taken just for madness, futures were lost just for insecurity and love withered and time stood still just for a weakness. My sincere prayers for those who left this abode and my deepest condolences and constant support for those who are left behind to witness the agony.]

A bend in the road
She was calm
She was serene
She was cruising along
Along a tunnel that seemed endless
And straight!!
She was shaken
She was jolted
She was almost thrown over
Along a tunnel with a bend
And curves!!
The bend was mysterious
The bend was fun
The bend was promising
Along a tunnel that had treats
And traps!!
The Voice said "Go for it"
The Voice said "The bend stays"
The Voice said "Irreversible"
Along a tunnel that held dark promises
And the light of fear
She tightened her seat belt
The Voice showed the "thumbs up" sign
What do they see?
What do they decipher?
Where do they go?
Time will tell
She was serene
She was cruising along
Along a tunnel that seemed endless
And straight!!

The results
She was tired
She was tensed
She was waiting
The results came
A mixed bag of fortune
A bittersweet concoction
The voice saw
The voice sighed
The voice waited
Her reactions came
A mixed thought
A languid response
The voice wondered
She clarified
Hers is the power
The power to show emotions
The emotions in response to situations
The voice had the power
The power to know her innermost thoughts
The thoughts that can fill the entire universe
She had the desire
The desire to win
And this was only a battle
A battle where she has had a setback
The voice had the responsibility
The responsibility to guide her
And this was the universe
A universe swathed in darkness
She was tensed
She was waiting
The results came
A mixed bag of fortune
A bittersweet concoction
The voice saw
The voice sighed
The voice waited
Her reactions came
A mixed thought
A languid response

[English translation is:
Because of you,
I went on to rule the skies.
In front of you,
I stand as a mixture of fire and air.
You are one drop of nectar, one drop of poison, one drop of heaven.
I like you!
You are one drop of happiness, one drop of sorrow, one drop of hell.
I think of you!]

Patience
She was discouraged
She was losing hope
She is one who cannot wait long for anything in life
She felt tired of waiting
She felt languid
She felt that nothing is worser than waiting
Waiting for something that she deserved
For something important
For something life changing
The voice saw her struggle
The voice saw the journey
The voice is one who sees the end of the journey
The voice consoled
The voice tried to reason
The voice advised Patience
Patience to wait for something that is to be hers
For something irrefutable
For something life-impacting
She listens to that voice
She finds solace in the voice
She hasn't lost hope, not yet...

Wait and despair!
She waits
She despairs
The result is unknown
The voice smiles
The voice pacifies
The trial goes on
Will she stand the trial?
Will she come out unscathed?
Will she live to rejoice?
Or will she be consumed by the dust,the dust that encompasses the entire universe?
Time will tell
Till then.....
The wait goes on.
She despairs

Will she come out unscathed?
Will she live to rejoice?
Or will she be consumed by the dust,the dust that encompasses the entire universe?
Time will tell
Till then.....
The wait goes on.
