The rust in the windowpane,
The walk down a lonely lane,
The flickering light
The fighting night.
The sound of raindrops
The windows hiding gasps
The blowing wind chill,
The sepia picture still.
The touching walls,
The suffering thralls,
The empty cup chokes
The blithe spirit floats
The fleeting clock dances
The seconds without a chance
The red seeping veins
The crash of sleeping trains.
Gyanban Thoughts – These few lines are about how we often get freedom with pain. Life is perhaps the greatest oxymoron itself. We often look to find solace and peace in situations we can or could control, ironically however, some people find peace in situations beyond their control, or at least that’s how we would like to remember them. These few lines are dedicated to all those people who lost someone, and wish they are happy now…wherever they are…maybe.?

Everyone learns to live through their sorrows, however hurtful they might be. I feel sorry for the few that are unable to do so.
