Déjà Vu
Somewhere, between January and December
life changed, like never before.
Somewhere, between fiction and reality
I told you my story here, in 300 posts.
Somewhere, between lonliness and crowds
I made some good friends, I think.
Somewhere, between Bali and Phuket
the sea seemed different, and so did I.
Somewhere, between hope and foolishness
I learnt to let go. Painfully.
Somewhere, between ambition and fear
I rolled the dice, and didnt lose.
Somewhere, between duty and care
you stretched me, too much.
Somewhere, between boredom and adventure
I did the things, I never would.
Somewhere, between 'do' and 'do-not',
I regretted things, I never could.
Somewhere, between love and friendship
some stayed, and some others left.
Somewhere, between words and silences
poetry began to make sense.
Somewhere, at the threshold of this year
I, perched on the tower of hindsight
look back and say, It wasnt all bad.
Look ahead and know, It will be better.

You can not not be positive... after all, hope is intrinsic, no :)
DC,
And for you too. How have you been?
Deadly,
Do 21 year-olds with identities of 'Deadly' understand emotional maturity? :)
Happy new year to you too.
Beautifully put.
May this year be better than all the previous nine combined.
Cheers!

I know this may sound weird, but did you recently do a post about your 300th post or did I just dream it.:)
