A NEW Beginning

Walking the path of rusty leaves
Lying strewn, retired from trees
Their Yellow seems so nostalgic
Something bizarre, quite atypic.

A crunchy sound under my boot
Echoes, when I put out my foot
The worldly things that lie above
Are crushed by the embers of love.

The framework of branches left
Bifurcated, its soul bereft
From deep within, it does profess
A yearning for the leaves’ caress.

It seems to be an endless wait....
Rays of sunlight, then, penetrate
To say, for every END in the making
There's always a NEW Beginning.

A Touch

When the world turns its back on you

When you are left out without any clue

Like the first ray of the morning sun

Mom's touch says... 'I trust you child, take the turn'

When you struggle with a bicycle ride

When you are tired of things you've tried

Like the ambush of a protective armor

Dad's touch says... 'I'l be your shield, my li'l warrior'

When you’ve had a mighty pillow fight

When you get home late at night

Like the gentle stars that shine down

A sibling’s touch says ‘You’re one… but just reborn’

When you are set to take the plunge

When you are tangled in a melange

Like a rainbow that lifts your mood

A Friend's touch says 'I'l b there, don't you worry dude'

When in a crowd you seem to be forlorn

When your dreams are not only your own

Like the depth of a boundless ocean

A Soulmate's touch says 'You're mine, my life's reason'

These jewels on the ornament of life

Help you survive every other strife

Your touch will enhance their radiance

Let them not fall out… Or else it may mar the whole appearance.
