Should you mull over the things gone by or just let it go? Are the coincidences and deliberate confrontations, always backed up with reasons? Then why do things and people just drop in, catch a glimpse and disappear? These questions always barge into my mind to seek an answer…. But every time I think of this, I always get caught in the web of confusion. I do not understand when people say…’ you didn’t get this because may be something best awaits you in the future’. I often ask… why should ‘better’ be a clue for ‘best’. Just because we didn’t get it, why does it suddenly retransforms to be better?
We often search for reasons for everything, when things turn haywire… but do we cling on to the same reasons when we win a lucky dip or something incredible ordained to us? It’s just because, we find a sense of solace in attaching desirable reasons behind things… that were intangible. But I enjoy the things gone by…. Weather I got it or not… it gave a pleasant feeling at that moment…it curled my lips. It filled my thoughts, it created a memory. It made my day….it instigated me to sing and sway. At that moment, it was all mine…it was all stars in the world of my universe. The light that lit up my universe is still shining bright… in the nostalgia of my thoughts.
. But as Robert Frost says, ‘woods are lovely dark and deep, but I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep and miles to go before I sleep’…though with the memories intact in the cupboard of my mind, I need to keep pace with the dreams ahead. I know that things gone by were the best and also the things waiting ahead.
So I do not find the clue for the best in the better. This is not just the silver lining………

There is always a chance for improvisation. If at all there are no steps for improvement the final satisfaction for the involved process would fill us with ego which would overpower our creative energies. Thus better should always be a clue and a light to lead us to further the best in us.

"Shall I compare thee to a poet? Thou art more subtle and more temperate"
Marvelous gleanings of sound poetry and rhythmic expressions of intense feelings.
Indeed a nice way to put instinctive flow of thoughts through such compiled lyrical verses.
Mind wanders with your script. Simply tellin, you are
"Neither one shade the more, nor one ray the less"
