Stay still my wild heart!
For the song needs the quiet,
Stay still or lest the fear,
The strings may get entangled.
Go forth and embrace,
What life has brought your way,
The flimsy veils of disguise,
That would make desire sway.
So what if they would judge,
Your moments would still be yours,
Trust him, and he shall,
Guide you to untravelled shores.
Go, sit under the shade,
Of devotion once unknown,
Not many have the courage,
So fond this heart has grown.
The flecks of bronze and gold,
In eyes that touch my soul,
May God be the witness,
Of tales yet to be told.
What a wonder it is how we are so unaware of the different shades of our own personality - vicious, venomous, forlorn, gloomy, dark, pretentious, and then gentle, so full of love and affection, taking us by surprise at times. It is still a blend of a strange sadness and delightful joy, emotions not entirely unfamiliar but this time with a certainty that comes with unintentional and continuous display of devotion and unsaid promises. Many promises in the past were just that, hollow, without substance. Many promises I made to myself, now hazy and frazzled. Promises are nothing, just words that we might think we would be able to live up to, ignoring the fact that the being up there might have other plans for us. What more can one ask for than Him to decide for you what is best. I do wish I could foretell the future, but I can't. So I let Him guide me to a course that He knows is already part of my future for He can foretell! He created it!
Today I'm inspired to write for something that never before had the music in me flowing. I wrote futile stories and poems that were my truth as I saw them, but perhaps they weren't. Moments that froze in my memory were never mine to begin with. Songs that my heart danced to were mere fragments of my imagination. Unsaid words were never spoken because they never existed. Souls parted ways because they did not belong together. What a strange puzzle the Creator has designed, and for so many of us, for thousands of years, witnessing hundreds of thousands of sunsets. And we spend our lives trying to untangle ourselves from these intricacies? Such fools! It is far easier to live in the moment than trying to tailor the future which is not ours to begin with. And when we do, the enchanting music takes us to a world where moments stand still, the memories of which play a smile on the face. The longing to be part of that world increases and the journey continues...
