WHEN I AM AWAKE

Every odd moments
When I'm awake,
My mind wandering
Meandering and rewinding.
Traversing my chequered past
Beyond the unknown destination
Of tomorrow.

How do I hope for happiness,
When there will be sorrow.
All these can come
And go in a row.

So hard to follow
What more to show.
It's not like a snow which I saw
Even in the darkness
It never fail to glow.

But when there's happiness,
My heart tends to grow.
Just like a prisoner
Who escapes the gallows

WHEN I AM AWAKE

Every odd moments when I am awake,
My mind wandering, meandering and rewinding.
Traversing my chequered past
Beyond the unknown destination of tomorrow.

How do I hope for happiness,
When there will be sorrow.
All these can come
And go in a row.
So hard to follow
What more to show.

It's not like a snow which I saw,
Even in the darkness
Never fail to glow.

But when there's happiness,
my heart tends to grow.
Just like a prisoner
Who escapes from death gallow.

WHEN YOU DELIVER

When you deliver
Deliver to the utmost
Running smoothly
To the far most.

Don't be boulders in a river
That collected no moss.

But please don't shudder
You'd go down in a blunder
Just like growling thunder
That refused to explode louder.

It shall become a hypocrisy
For sure of the highest order
Where Law of Nature
Set in disorder.

Everything goes out of order
Birds of the same feathers
Can't flock together.

The day and night
In disharmony further
Like a prodigal son
Who goes against the father.

When an order becomes disorder,
What's there to deliver?
As what's left only
A deserted boat with no rudder
Where do you go
Will just remain a wonder.
