Flowing through the Days
There stood a wall
Unable to make it fall
She kept hitting stubbornly
Carried on digging passionately
Nothing made sense to her
'stop and move on' didn't attract her
She took some rest occasionally
'far side of the wall' called her strongly
Efforts exhausted and she stood there tired
'move on from the wall', she murmured
Despair took the hold
Days passed to make her cold
It was not easy for her
Doubts kept crippling her
Life seemed to wither
She tried to disappear.
Days passed in gloom
She stood still aloof
But startled she rushed
When swift wind gushed
The wind brought an unusual attraction
An eye over 'far side of the wall', another over 'move on from the wall'
Little she realised the changed time
When she sung an entirely different rhyme
Days passed by once again
'want to move on' was not a pain
She found herself 'in the present'
And 'far side of the wall' was not existent
Not an aloof anymore
She smiled once more
That wind was still blowing
In dreams she was flowing
But one day the wind whispered
Its days are numbered
She cried for the wind to stay
The wind helped her to make a way
And the final day was here,
The wind left to blow elsewhere
But the Girl had learnt to flow
She thanked the wind and let it go
Days passed once more,
Hurdles struck the girl furthermore
But now she knew the art of moving on
She laughed and the days went on
