DEEN AT HEART - POETRY

Mistake.....

I was happy
or so I thought
It seemed a dream
or so I thought

I was busy
in my own world lost
full of number
number of people

Number of hardships
filling their places
in my not so
busy and peaceful life

There came a shadow
but with a surprise
It wasn't dark or scary
instead serene like a fairy

That moment it entered
left me astounded
I knew not that was
my handmade  downfall

Everything was full
of joy and excitement
Everyday was filled
with new feel and smile

Who knew how life brings
tests in the disguise of
blessings and new feelings
only meant to break hearts

Seemingly went well my life
slowly towards its ruinage
I was oblivious of its trick
to trap and topple me down

Then became apparent the plot
that life brought and I was struck
by my weak and vulnerable aura
that left me perched but wretched

Life took a turn in less than
a blink of eye, in a swift strike
simple,obvious and severe as a cut
stopped by a storm washed by fate

Lessons I learnt to renew my life
relearnt to be wise and when to
be strong enough for life's tackle
and when conscious enough to defend

Shadow changed all in a sword's stroke
my world upsidedown dark, dazed
If I but knew before not to give in
Only to lose all joy I piled to vain

Peace of mind lost and happiness
Vanished, strength weakened,
Pain deepened, healing straitened,
Trouble expanded, worry expounded
Life devastated and world shattered!

So was my choice of the shadow over light
that covered gloom on my life that was bright
Enough tough it was for me to handle
Who else would ? I've only got me to mend it!

I strove hard, hard and harder
Kicked out that shadow out,
When Life took a new phase
Cushioning new ease in heart

Nerves took to relax and mind
found its peace, words found their
means, feelings learnt their place
Life turned straight onto the right path

Such was my transformation
From bad to good destination
All I did was to realise what
I did was life's worst Mistake.....
