Gloomy Night- Abhijeeta Mahant

On a gloomy night , as I looked up in the sky

many thoughts lingered in my mind,

the paths I didn't take and the path I took in my life.

now and then, past and present,

the thought of future had always me shaken.

right and wrongs,

love and thorns,

I entered a new dimensional form

wondered if, I was ever right?

and all the things came to my sight.

Like a player reaching his goal

I wanted to fill my soul.

with all the right experiences,

making all the right choices,

like a player dodging a foul,

I wanted to be as wise as an owl

and somehow I knew it

for someday, yellow card has to show

to give oneself a room to grow,

and for someday there is no need to show,

to sit for a while for a thunderous glow.

gazing at the stars,

feeling the light,

something has made my heart quiet

but my mind was still at it despite,

wondered , am I right this time?

I closed my eyes,

played the rewind

for so much had happened

I re-lived all that for a second,

remembered my every choices

and listened to my inner voices,

and for the last time,

l looked up on that gloomy night

and then I know there is no wrong and right.
