Moving ON and Moving IN

We meet someone today,
And tomorrow they are lost in the crowd.

We are close to someone today,
And tomorrow he is just another stranger.

How easily we transform ourselves,
Accepting people as and when they come and go,
In and out of our lives

Sometimes reasoning and sometimes not bothering,
At times ready to let go and at times wanting to hold on,

Not knowing what’s coming, and not realizing what’s leaving,
Just taking each one as they come and go,

Standing and watching, waiting for someone to wait on us,
Waiting for someone to hold onto us,

Sometimes wanting to run away from all odds and evens,
Sometimes not knowing where to run,

And sometimes we just run into someone unknown yet so known,
Feeling all so cared and cherished, proud of ones own existence.

It seems to be a game of Snake and Ladder,
Not knowing the snakes or the ladders of life,
Waiting to take up any excitement life throws,
With just one thing in mind, that we move on,
And move into something better that life has for us.

How does it feel to FEEL?

At various phases in our lives we feel differently about different things
Today what feels right, might feel wrong tomorrow
Today what we endure, might be worthless tomorrow
What we feel and do at the spur of a moment, may not be done otherwise

To be able to feel extreme pain or extreme happiness must be bliss
Least of all it gives the opportunity to realize the feelings
I wonder how many have felt pain or happiness

I have known people talk about their feelings
Felt sad, happy, and at times wonderful for them,
They talk about the feelings so naturally, that I want to feel their feelings.

And at some point in time one stops feeling,
One becomes neutral, nothing affects, nothing matters, and nothing hurts,
Don’t know whether it is for good or bad, yet it happens and we don’t realize it has happened.
