Be Patient

Context: It is for one of those days when things don’t go well, and you are feeling odd and you don’t know why

It doesn't seems like morning even when the birds sing
food doesn't taste the same even with your favorite thing
flowers don't blossom even with the arrival of the spring

what is this feeling
perhaps you are missing

you are missing the home the way you heard your Mom call your name form so far

you are missing the way you knew your father's home just by the sound from his car

you are missing those silly stories from your brother of his weekly new scars

you are missing the fact that once the friends with whom you could share a chocolate bar

are now so away even further than that bloody star

what is this feeling
in this new place
with so many new face
for a new space
in this new chase

Remember to listen to that voice

the voice telling you to stay patient
you don't have to build today the entire nation
you just have to reach the next station
don't loose the sight of you mission
that providing value to all is your vision



and who knows
who knows this journey may give you all the right navigation
to perceive your immense and never ending passion
together with your new friends in this new region
you will again talk about taking all the right action
to complete your dreams without much traction


but remember to be patient and within no time

mornings will come when the birds sing
the food will taste better with you favorite thing
the flowers will blossom with the arrival of the spring

If It meant something to me

If it was a different time
If it was an easier climb
If it meant nothing to me

.....
If I were not the one to help my people
If this step wouldn't create a ripple
....
If we were not that ambitious
If we were satisfied with whatever they gave us
...
If we were not this immature
If our intentions were not so pure
...
Maybe then and only then I would have run my fingers

through your hairs and stop them right behind your ears

And I would pull you closer to me
And hold you till I end my poetry

If only I had a heart
If only I understood this art

If it was an easier climb
If it was a different time

Only If it meant something to me
