Miles to go...

With the glimmer and glimpses of the past forgotten,
With the gleeful memories of the childhood fun,
With the sheen and shine of the morning sun,
I have dreams in my eyes and thoughts unsaid,
I feel a glass ceiling above my head,
but steady and calm in the storm i tread,
To face what comes lying ahead,
I heedlessly proceed unknown threads,
I walk, I run,
I cry, I am numb ,
But with destiny calling me from miles away,
I tread my path without dismay,
With grief and resentment in my veins,
I still have solace in my heart,
and miles to go now that I have start,

To hear the rhyming bells of change,
To see the blissful sun's visage,
To feel the earth wear its dancing shoes,
To touch the tranquil blue waters too,
To live a life of reverence and tribute,
Before i kiss the fear of death away,
Tell the god above,I am here to stay,
For I have a bag full of promises to keep,
and I have miles to go before i sleep....

P.S. The author's mood swings are to be kept in mind! :) and a mild vote of thanks to robert frost..couldn't have written it without the inspiration derived from him.

The Butterfly lesson..

Butterflies,the most intricately designed species amongst the others that god made...I'm sure it took him a lot of them in making each one so unique,in terms of the designs they bear,so distinct,in terms of their bright and fluorescent colors,which makes each one of them so attractive and alluring,that you would want to catch them in your hands for a while and enjoy their pulchritudinous..but Alas..God gave them wings!

So what do these ravishing creations of god signify or symbolize ??
The Butterfly is a symbol of change or transformation, joy and love.Its a powerful symbol in myth and religion. For Early Christians, it represented the soul itself.
In China it symbolized conjugal bliss and joy.
American Indians call upon the butterfly for guidance in change, color, and happiness.
To sum it up,its a symbol of an ideal happy living...
What is life without color,freedom or change?A life not worth being called "life"!!!
Philosophically,a butterfly is Gods way of telling the people how one should lead a life full of the evergreen colors of happiness,freedom,love and joy...and not just this but how one must adapt to his surroundings so as to lead a harmonious,peaceful and a beautiful life..so the keyword here is "CHANGE"/"ADAPTATION".
My take:"The only constant in our lives is change!!"

lets take a lesson or two from the tiny thing...to make our lives as divine and stunning as that of the butterfly's!

God Bless
