As I..



As I sit by the shore
I can feel the breeze
Hitting my face
Sweeping away with it
My inner most fears.

As it starts to pour
I feel I could freeze
My limbs go stiff
Though I feel at peace.

As I walk through the lonely roads
The leaves stick to my skin
Giving me a feeling
That I am the only one.

As I sit in my verandah
Staring at the sky through the trees
While listening to the almost extinct sparrows
Chirping a sad symphony.

As I take a stroll in my terrace
Watching the moon-lit sky
The stars shining like the diamond
That makes me wonder more
What goes beyond this life.
