Oasis

Deep inside where it beats for life

There is a voice which talks to me

It questions me, the answers I seek 

For which myself

It's been so many years that I cannot tell.

I lay down when I have toiled for hours

Not sparing a minute to think or wish

For thoughts get scattered

And wishes do change

But why does it happen it questions me every day?

I see myself smile just to let it be

At times there is a loud cry which I hold within me

For the smiles do not attract nor the cry is heard

Why do emotions not survive in today's world?

There is that child who wants to be cuddled, pampered, and loved

But it's scared to peep out 

In this world 

Where it loses its way when it comes out to play.

As no one there to help or hold when it shouts.

That little voice remains silent in a corner in me

When I sit alone it does accompany me

It asks what is this facade

 that you create

By being just there for all

No one to hear when you have so much to say?

Do not lose it, my friend, 

To hear what it has to say

As it's the best friend you have

To guide you all the way.

I am happy when I hear it speak to me

I am still alive consciously

Though just moving around 

Even though it lies deep down but I do skip a beat

When it knocks at my door

Telling me it's fine my friend

Just let it be.
