Silent Farewells

I beseech thee Silence,

Lets not take things further.

Lets not mull over thoughts again;

You are strong-headed I know

But lets not surpass this line drawn.

You have been with me 

Often as a friend, sometimes , also as my biggest foe. 

Together, you'v see me cross scores of my tragedies,

Holding me in your bosom,

You'v seen me surrender my rights,

You'v been my gaurdian when I had none.

You'v been my saint, when I needed Sanity;

You'v been my devil, when i had the mind to                          rebel.

As I lay awake with you at night,

You showed me a plethora of possiblities

You ran through my mind, The 'mirage' of tomorrow.

Silence,  I saw you as my keeper,

My safeguard.

Locked in my crib of security

You handled me like a possesive and caring mother.

But I beseech thee Silence,

Let me go today;

To stumble again and thus grow further.

Open the lock of your gates,

To let your child make small mistakes. 

Be patient with me today,

Let destiny take my hand. 

I need to ride again

Remove the fear of some falls.

I need to get wounded,the path is dangerous I know;

Like a patient mother, see me go through Life,

Let me learn my possibilities.

You are my protector and 

When my end comes,I'l crawl back to you forever.

But lets bid farewell for now, Silence;

Lets not take things further

Let me make life cherishable, loving it

And blundering across my way.

Wait for me SILENCE........... I'l come to you again !
