Nani

The stars come out and the sun still rises,

And the night gives in to the day.

I smile and even laugh through the times,

As life continues to carry on.

But in my moments of solitude,

I think of you and I pray.

The dark pit deepens,

As I recall your quivering voice.

The bitter realization that I won't hear you again,

Shrouds my day.

Your support always made me strong,

And made me proud of myself.

It was your sheer belief in us,

That kept us going strong on our ways.

The frail touch with an iron will,

Is what can describe you a little.

You are not with us by our side, 

But you will continue to stay.

Because you are with us forever,

Even after we leave and go far far away.

Questioning Forgiveness

What is Forgiveness?

Is it for the weak or for the strong?

Is it an act of cowardice or of strength?

Does it mean, we are over it or that we can no longer fight the feelings inside?

What is Forgiveness?

Is it an outward or an inward activity?

Is it an act or just self reconciliation?

Does it need to be done when someone asks for it or is it something we should just do on our own?

What is Forgiveness?

Is it done for others or is done for one's own self?

Then who should it affect more, us or them?

Does it calm you or does the bitterness always remain?

What is Forgiveness?

And when is the right time to forgive?

When you are at peace or when you are seeking it?

Is it right to forgive when we still have feelings or only when we are detached?

But if we are detached then why would we care to forgive?

What is Forgiveness?

Is it an end to the questions or the beginning of new ones?

Is it just a lead to the next hopeful action?

Does it end there or does it shroud you once again but later.

So, Is it like a wild-goose chase?

Which ends but never gets over?

Are these questions just in me?

Or are these felt by everyone?

I just don't know yet.
