Smile Anyways😊

In the aftermath of snow fall
When traffic freezes for a while
Person on driving seat 
With saddened state of mind
Wondering how will he get to his home


To someone at home, it's amusing
And for someone out somewhere it's so annoying
Some one is smiling
And some one is crying

In search of happiness
One has found it so confusing
Ultimately It all depends on 
Which side of Nile, are you standing,
If it's desert enjoy the beachy shores
And if it's greener side
Enjoy the plush fields

Life follows  different course for everyone
If you have stormy journey
Inspite of crying 
Just evolve stronger

If you have to smile
Just smile anyways,,

Those deep diving moments of our thoughts

In those depths of deep trenches,

Searching for a sign of life,

Burdening himself under thousands of psi,

I wonder if anyone alive will be found,

Or he himself won’t be able to thrive,,,

A douzy winter solstice

A late advent with alluring Sunrays,

Light flies away in whisker these days,

By the moment day is planned,

Timeline for keeping up with things get passed,

A little sloppy and a bit lazy,

Mostly wearing itself hazy,

Constricting and shivering,

Leaving everybody somewhat douzy,,

Thick Overcast of stillness,

Shadowing negativity to moods,

Gloomy clouds covering the boundless sky of thoughts,

Like sky started contracting,

After touching its limits,

Effects of winter solstice

Making every event less effective

Nothing interest our interests right now

Just letting it pass somehow,,

Another Emotionless day!

Behind thick fog

Blurred vision

Here comes a rider

With scratched visor

Pacing up slowly

His noisy bike

Going on and on

In an emotionless state

Everyone wonders about his destination

But he is not bothered

As long as he continues riding,,

Repeated Showdown,,

In this theatre of world,

Everyone being the part of same herd,

Yet acting to prove themselves as best,

As one is the only phoenix in the world,,,

Who is God here!

To judge you best as most aware,

Whose judgement is here so astute!

To whom you are trying to explain your suit!

When whole audience is part of same herd,

Competing to be wise from one another,

Isn’t it an act of apt foolishness,

To which everyone is committed with direness,

Its mere a showdown in the end,

Exploding bitterness with all of the animal instincts,

Sometimes expressed boldly in front,

And sometimes left raging inside,

For a future showdown brunt,,,

Recklessness isn’t worthy always

Lost in the recklessness,

Misjudged the ampleness,

And then darted so deep,

Where it pinched the worst,,

The whole world before

was caressing him,

Now has started

Defaming and blaming him,

Yesterday was the hero for millions,

And now he is criminal for billions,

What he didn’t deserve

Now seems has been kept

For him in reserve,

Some mindfulness

Some patience

Could have reversed

The whole process

But now the game is over

And so his chances,

Still holding his head high

Accepting the onus

And feeling sorry for all he could have done,,

Dark rainy winter days,,,

Day sets in as usual

Soon some clouds starts clamouring

Curtaining the dimming Sun behind

And then it’s advent of dark so soon

Roaring skies with frightening strikes

With Flashes of lightening capturing picturesque

And then it starts pouring with hue

Leaking heavenly tanks to bottom

Instilling motion to the stillness of water bodies

Soon there is water everywhere in the streets

Helping the burdened drainage to stream

A happy wave flows through Flora

Chilling wind adds to their sauna

Now it’s bit brighter

Maybe heavens are refilling their tankers

A fresh spree is again expected

Let’s see how it’s going to be effected,,,

Demons and War

And when war broke out, all the demons hid behind the covers who were planning it,,,,

Rising with moon or Moonrise

So when I see someone waiting for moon for someone

I remembered days when i used to wait for moon in every dark night

Reverie,,,

And when the astounding performance was cresting with flow

There comes sudden imbalance with shakiness and all falls down like olympus
