A Tribute To The Slab Of Wax

Like the flickering soul in a body

Is the flame of the candlelight;

Like the rays of silver in the full moon

Are the rays of hope of the candlelight.

When there forms a curve on the lips

when the eyes twinkle with delight

when stars shimmer along

The candle dances with its flames bright.

Providing magical enchantment into passionate souls

Light to torchbearers and social people galore

It's the trustworthy slab of wax

Lighting up the dark in the voids of hollows.

The selflessness in the yellow solace so sincere

Is later felt with the melting away of its mortality.

WRITING

Just as I thought everything was back on track...Wham!! I was hit by the hard unexpected reality. They say life is unpredictable.. I'd rather modify it to "people" are unpredictable...

Do circumstances change people...??? I was one of those who always thought people change circumstances..come on..it's their life..so they should be well in charge of it!!



I often do this...I take up a blank paper and a pen..and start writing...
writing...nothing specific.. but I like doing it..

somewhere, something about it makes me feel I am secure, guided by someone.. it somehow diminishes the lonliness..



That is exactly what I have done in this post...











There's basically NO connection between the lines in this post... it is as "unpredictable" as "people".... or as "life"...??

What is depression? The discotentment we feel from our lives? The feeling of being abandoned or the feeling of insecurity? Or...all of the above?

What does a person do when in depression? Brood about, stay awake at nights, all the time pose being present though knowing that he actually is absent? abandon himself???

What does a person do to come out of that 'dark phase'? Attend counselling sessions, meet up with psychiatrists, do everything to try hard to ignore that stuck-up feeling?

And what does a person finally do once he's out of his depression? Stay "happy" for a while and then drop back right into the pit and start brooding all over again?

seriously... the world is round..
