I'll Be Nearby ...

Life has been a bit too quick these days, which seriously makes me wonder about the times ahead. Perhaps I should leave it to time and rather than figuring out, discover. However, to keep up the dynamism of the blog, I present to you a poem which I wrote about two months ago. It is not something with very complex or with very great ideas or even something conceived in a semi-conscious state of poetic stupor. Rather, it is an amateurishly simple one written in a short span of about 5-10 minutes, more at the need of the hour. Moreover, except a line here and there the poem is generic and not romantically themed unless the reader deliberately wishes to interpret so.

I'LL BE NEARBY ...
                        - Self

When battles are tough, When stakes are high

When times wear you out, When those sparks die

Just look for me

I'll be nearby.  

When you need that laugh, But all you do is cry

When you need some warmth, When you feel so dry

Just look for me

I'll be nearby.

When you doubt yourself, and you don’t wish to try

When you want to smile, All you manage is a sigh

Just look for me

I'll be nearby.

When you want to dance, But you are too shy

When you need to share, Or maybe just get high

Just look for me

I'll be nearby.

When you see the skies, And out you want to fly

I'll hold your hand, I’ll be the guy

Please look for me

I'll be nearby

When you’ve won the war, you’ve touched the skies

When you prove your mettle, To the world outside

I’ll be right behind

I’ll be nearby

When one fine day, I shut my eyes

Don’t you lose grip, Don’t you dare cry

I’ll be in the river, I’ll be in the sky

I’ll be in the pudding, I’ll be in the pie

I’ll come as a child, May be a butterfly

I’ll come as a reason, That makes you smile

Feel me in the wind

I’ll be nearby.
