MOVING ON.....

As dusk began to set in, on a cold winter afternoon,

It brought with itself-MEMORIES, long lost yet stored in time's depth..

Of the gentle caress on my stubbled face,

Of promises that were meant to be kept..

The chill, the shiver, that were once so dear,

Now stabbed me deep-their intentions CLEAR...

The birds made their way back to their homes, so bright the colours they wore,

And here I was,sitting alone-CREATURE COMFORTS not enough for me anymore..

Memories once cherished had now returned to make me weak,

I had to be strong but the chances were bleak..

"MOVE ON",was the chorus from many a friend and foe,

But my heart never complied and thoughts plundered my mind,oscillating to and fro...

Years of compromise,of endless efforts had bore no fruit,

But yes,the pillar of HONESTY stood tall,shining in the light of truth..

When I was lonely a few stood by,

Very dear they were, people on whom I could rely..

COMMITMENT-a word so heavy had lost its price,

The relationship that was meant to last, did have a sudden demise...

The sun had set, the hopes that gone,

But the new DAWN was not far away-YES I WAS MOVING ON......
