The spark

A spark that flares

and spreads

uncontainable

irreversible

burning yesterdays

erasing forever

the shell of memories

the cocoon of  comfort

freeing todays

to long for the unknown

dream with abandon

of uncertain tomorrows

shrouded in mists

that never show

what they truly hold.

    what they truly hold.

    ….
    ….
    ….

    that drives to uphold
    the thoughts that are behold
    and solve the mystries untold

    Me: The mysteries if any are hidden n the mist of tomorrow. :) Thanks Maddy.

  2. Is there an answer to my query
    of what can the spark be
    that will burn all our memory
    of mistakes that were costly
    of actions that make us guilty
    leaving only that make us happy
    and deliver us to a future we can’t see.

    Your words have made me long for such a spark

    Me: That can be said with certainty only when we encounter such a spark Govind. :)

    burning yesterdays

    Yes its all irreversible…..whatever we go thru …
    how long to be in uncertainty …lovely shail…!!

    Me: Yesterdays are irreversible Mythi! I hope the uncertainty will turn to whatever certainty you long for Mythi! Thank you. :)

  4. And will it be enough If I say that I am at that stage now…? :)

    freeing todays

    to long for the unknown

    dream with abandon

    of uncertain tomorrows

    shrouded in mists

    that never show

    what they truly hold.

    Me: Ahh yes! But there is an element of uncertainty about tomorrows isn’t it?? And dream with abandon and realise them too Indy! :)

  5. And then there are some elements whose job is to generate such sparks with horrifying outcome.

    Me: Balvinder you have looked at it in an entirely new way, I am amazed……yes you are right too. Such sparks have horrifying outcomes.
