Loss.Change.Hope

Before I attempt to scribble here,awake so late at night on a fool's day I would like to jot down that at this point in life I'm a kid.
A kid because I don't know the flavor of my choice from the myriad ones on offer.I need to get the reins tight but I haven't identified my horse yet.And like a kid I'm simply awestruck by the world around and is almost set to experiment and experience it.
It might be too funny to see that me past my childhood is re-living it.Some changes that happen in life without our permission cause us to travel the most wonderful paths in life,perhaps very different, rather distinct. And it is a series of such events that has brought me unto a self that is all new to myself -a world out there in front of me and I'm like a kid going to start my journey.

Start on a treasure hunt
through a new labyrinth.
 I see bloom here and there
Sweet fragrances come my way
As I step in,I like it! I say
But my heart goes numb
A weakness effected when
 my head doubts to hope.

The fairies circle around me.
They sing and fly making wonderful patterns!
Look! I say to myself,
Often sets out to touch one,
Try to get hold of one,
And sometimes I dance to the tune of that beautiful song
I walk forward
And then the tune changes,the fairies now have different faces.
Oh, I say.See that!I say

And soon I forget the lost tune
Smiles at the changes
(Hasn't the smile broadened a bit?)
Walk along-singing,dancing
With hopes of reaching my treasure.

My fairies lead me to thee
Where my soul can enjoy peace
And love immortal shall bequeath me
in its bosom so tender and dear!
And there I rest in the shelter of thy arms
and connect the dots through my labyrinth
Recount and wonder the flowers and thorns
the butterflies and fragrances I saw and felt

And yes! Those faces...the fairies!

I cant find them now.
They disappeared without me knowing
To share my smile and drink some wine, I find none
But still I smile and  remember them,with grace.
