Autumn

There's always a new beginning after an ending,
maybe that's how it all began !
Stuck inside the cobwebs of mere existence,
I forgot to see the beautiful tapestry in front of me.
But alas,to behold its beauty,
it asked of me what I hadn't ever done before.
I mustered all the courage,
to break free from my fears.

You came to my life,
like the rain drops come down to the river-
slow and gentle at first,
then like the fierce storm.
Do you know what was endearing about you?
It was how you became one with me,
as the raindrops with the flowing river.
You brought the new zing and intertwined with my mundane.
Little by little breaking the vanity of the pain.
The chaos to my silence.
The youthful greens amidst the bygone greys.

The songs weren't yet fading away,
when the chimes started to change.
The winds whispered their dissent,
rebuking that I partook more than it was meant.
But a new fire had been ignited inside me,
without knowing it burnt me or it set me free.
I screamed back to the skies-
If it wasn't mine then why all the lies ?

For the sake of the beautiful times,
walking together for miles,
I couldn't put you down ,
to the grave of the faded memories.
I don't want the snow to damp that fire.
So let the golden hues of the autumn stay,
let the fire of your memories remain ablaze.
