Still In Thoughts...

I woke up and still say I Love You
But now there's no reply right now in sight
I always feel your presence with me every time
As if you never left my side for a single moment

I remember your comforting voice too, always
Now there's not a sound, not even a single beat
I am left with only echoes from the past
As it follows me around from time to time

You're always with me, by my side, with thoughts but I can't hold your hands
I hold you in my mind and my imagination brings you to life
The reason why God took you is still a mystery
I find hard to understand but I am not ready to contest

Summer days seem much shorter in retrospect
Dark nights just linger on and I can't find any suspect
Dreams of long ago suddenly turned into nightmares
As expected when your loved one is nowhere in sight again

As the popular saying goes that real love never fades
Out of mind isn't out of sight as it burns like the scorching sun
Although it might be distant - far away from touch never too far away from feel
The thoughts and memories goes on as Celine Dion's heart goes on too

Her thoughts, memories and the spirit will never die
It shines brighter than the diamond, reflect better than the stars in the sky
To our lost loved ones, we know they are far from sight
But forever in our hearts they are living - a permanent abode

Every Step Is Worth Celebrating...

There are steps we have taken that we don't know
We don't know where they lead sometimes
A leap of faith even with the rough mental image of how we think it should
Sometimes they turn out just the way we wanted or a bit more or less too
I've always celebrated every single step I've taken up to this point
With the disappointments and the good moments
I believe they all led me up to this point that I am right now
I've had the little and the major steps which turned fruitful or not so much
It can be hard sometimes but I celebrate the not so good ones too
How else am I supposed to have a success story without them?
I've taken some wise decisions that I am proud of
Even the foolish ones that made me doubt myself and made me cringe
In both success and failure I've always had lessons to learn
I can't stop celebrating my grit for excellence
But trust me, there were days that I slacked off too
Every day and every step has its significance in my life's journey
I celebrate my envisioned future because I would attain it
I celebrate its strength and clarity to me because I believe in me
I celebrate the greatness in me even when the world is yet to see it
I need to believe it first before the world sees what I've always been seeing in me
I celebrate every step that led me here because without them, I have no story
Every step is worth celebrating but it's determined by how you choose to see it
There are lessons in every season and I choose to celebrate every step
It doesn't have to be pleasant always but I get better with time
Because even unpleasant experiences can be made better with a more better approach

What are you celebrating?

Thank you for your time.

Still me,

My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
