As I reach out to touch the star,
It slips away just a little far;
I step out and follow the light,
A trail of silver in the darkness of the night.
The path is dizzying,
But I skip along;
Engulfed with love... oh the feeling,
My heart is on a song.
As I reach out to feel the mist,
It escapes through the corners of my fist;
I follow the haze as it melts beyond,
A cloud of dew on the parched ground.
I smile, I dance,
As I sink into an abyss;
It draws me deeper-into a trance,
A world- where nothing seems amiss.
As I'm about to near my goal,
A riveting sight seizes my soul;
No star nor mist can I find,
But only images that numb my mind.
This is my past coming back to me,
Every memory flashing wickedly;
Those were happy, yet ridden with conflict,
A path that I chose to desert and drift.
As the images come to an end,
I spot a lone figure along the bend,
Steadily chasing the embers of what once was,
Reaching out for the tears of loss.
O what a pity it has been,
To be chasing such an empty dream.
It is now that I must deal,
To be caught in the past or live and heal.

Hey thanks Eisha. will change it. And ya, wasn't planning on asking anyone to visit it coz I thought it was a bit morbid myself. But since the topic presented itself I mentioned it.
Neways, comments graciously accepted.
Morbit, may be. But very beautiful.
yes very beautiful!!
by they way ... really ironic that eisha makes a spelling mistake after pointing out anooosha's spelling mistake ... hehehehe
ha..ha....morbid
So looks like the editor has the last word.
But it invariably happens when you are correcting somebody's spelling error. Happened when I was commenting on one of Eisha's posts long time back. :-)

reaching out for the tears of loss...chasing such an empty dream, it is now that I must deal, to be caught in the past or live & heal... just beautiful !
