[Inspired by “The Alchemist” written by Paulo Coelho]
It was my birthday, after parties are all done
Friends went off leaving me alone
Me making a gloomy face was thinking...
How all our joys turn to be so short-lived
And after a flash, all get blown-off
Suddenly a magical epiphany took me to an angel
With sparkling magic-wand, he blessed me saying,
"Candles may melt down, flowers may die out torn,
These hours of trance may all go forlorn...
But my blessings will always light up your life"
Me being quite a spellbound, replied slowly,
"I've lost my ability to express,
Words are nothing but a jumbled mess"
Smiling the angel continued with gleaming eyes,
"Welcome to the world of illusion...
Now forget all about your past-sorrows,
And be patient...time is the only solution"
Me revealed the weird truth to him,
"Time heals the sour wounds but leaving a deep scar
To remind me of those failures I've accumulated so far,
I've to suppress my voice when I want to cry
Shadows don't leave me no matter how hard I try"
Laughing out aloud, the angel said,
"The history of your stupidity would fill up many volumes,
Silly kid, a failure moves you a step ahead to success,
I'd tell you only a few words, inner-meaning is upto you...
The closer one gets realizing his dream,
The more that dream becomes his true reason for being"
That angel never appeared anymore,
But his words are still like an enigma to me...
