Hide And Seek

I wish I could record those unexpected moments

The moments that enlightened me with thoughts

One of its kind, unique, genuine, tranquil and unusual

What can become my inspiration in my need.

My mind just cannot jaunt to those moments again

The harder I try, it is evading me

But my itchy head has to have those recorded

For it believes, even the reminiscence would do.

'The time comes,' I had often heard

I had read and had even said it to people

During their tough times, without understanding

The very essence of it.

One cannot possibly understand

Without experiencing themselves

True to the core, my time had arrived

The moment that was to impact me deep within. 

Bit by bit my soul sinking in despair

The vicissitudes dislodging my life

Hope, my only saviour for years

Played a hide and seek game, pulling me along. 

And that evening as I sat there imploring

Smiling at me benevolently, enlightened me

Whispered, it was all meant to be

Stop battling against the tides.

I couldn't help but surrender

Life indeed is simple

We make it complicated, in our thoughts

Thoughts leading to action complicates life.  

Neither people can be blamed nor situations

Or even ourselves

It is all in the game, a part of the game

Being a silent spectator sometimes comes in handy.
