Existence of Tomorrow

By Deepti G Shastry

A drop of tear in the waves of the sea,

The slipped grains of sand through the fingers

The winds of time seeped into history,

Are lost forever lingering in unseen whispers.

Listen to the deepest echoes of silence,

Express the unsaid desperate emotions,

Unleash the caged love, embrace with warmth,

Let the inevitable words flow without hesitations.

Pauses of today, become regrets of tomorrow,

Listen to the intuition when heart beckons;

Pave the way as you voice the stream of thoughts,

Holding back hurts, for a heavy debt returns.

Eyes fondly await a glimpse of the fallen drop,

Blinded by the darkness of ignorance;

Bound by the strings of self-imposed suppressions,

Feelings unknowingly isolate with distance.

Find the pearl of clarity in the shell of uncertainties,

This moment is ephemeral, pour your heart out;

Relive, create, and rebuild the broken bridges,

Tomorrow may exist, but loved ones may not.
