I had written this quite a while back..but while the tuf days of the tsunami were taking their toll, this entry and the strength associated with it came to my rescue, as they always have...be it in words or in spirit. ------------------------------- I had nutured it everyday, it got me going when there seemed no way, times when i wud want to crumble it gave me the will to be restored into one...It was a dream, a personal obesseion, my will to face tomorrow and it got shattered into pieces. Just like that. Like a dynamite set in the heart of my life's reality and in one swift blast it became an incomplete abridged form of many dreams, like a crstal broken into many forms, all of the pieces which were but now cud never be... It was bitter and it was sad...it made me lose focus and it negated everything i had believed in...the sight of tomorrow hurt the mind, the brightness of the world hurt the eye... Down i went, into nothingness...down i went under the ocean bed...it was too cruel and it was impossible and i wanted it that way...down i went , not becoz I could not resist my fall but because i wanted to propel it... And suddenly came that God send angel, which the world refers to as a "friend". Fell with me, deep down and when i had a moment to spare, Shook me up and told me that to give up was an all too easy dare Come, come with me and face the light Its the tufest when u feel dark and the rest is bright But I shall hold ur hand and I shall show u the way Let me be ur rainbow, let me be ur one bright ray It wont be easy but with u, i am here So that whenever that nightmare comes i could be near It only seems dark for u've closed ur eyes tight Open them, that's why i've come, to give you all my light... And it changed, like season, winds, times, people, moon, cities, centuries...it all changed. I didn't want to thank him, i wanted to remember it every moment of my life how he saved my soul, how he recused a life, how his light became the sunshine in my life...
