Coagulation of thought

You and I have grown apart
By a distance, of which I had never thought
I'm amazed, what could have caused this change?
Now looking back, it seems really strange
That all could be lost in such short a time
What do I say?- I'm spellbound
Who do I blame?- I should've turned around

Every day goes by, to say- I have nothing more,
Each day the same as the one before,
Beautiful, warm smiles are now wry
And I miss old times, now everything's dry
A sharp glance at what has passed
Good and bad... folded, into a time that's creased
What's happening?, I can't explain
What happened before will never remain

My mind reels when I think
Of how time can wound and heal,
My emotions; pushed to the brink
When I think of all the things time's had to steal
Innocent lives, wonderful people,
Opportunities; but like a pebble,
At the bottom of the sea, these hardly matter
In the vastness of time, they're but a stutter

Not all hope is lost, though sorrow prevails
A glimmer of light, through the hazy veils,
Of our future, mine and yours,
Descends as what keeps us going, unfaltered
A smile, a joy, a purity, unaltered
What do we live for?, I think we've got our answer
Our feelings, our mind, all the thought of our kind
We look at the light, and move onwards with all might,
And hold on to what we think is right

So trust me now, take my hand,
The distance between us time can mend
And we'll move on as all have before us
To brighter horizons where we can be the same
As we were before. Together, happy, and pure

Stretching out

When the walls close in,
There's seemingly nothing you can do
Time is short, you don't smile with all thirty two,
All the work piled up, why didn't you foresee?
You think you're stuck, not really!

Everything's a blur, so set things straight
Stand where you are and chalk out your plan
Believe in yourself, believe you're right,
And go out there!, do whatever you can.

Do wipe off that sigh, it looks bad,
Put on a smile, oh that one's great!
Keep it on as long as you can
It's a real handy, rather useful trait!

Needless to say, its worth a shot;
After all you've got nothing to lose
In you're race against time, people; the whole lot
Nevertheless, upto you to choose!

And when you're done, just think a bit,
Of how you tried, and succeeded too;
Great going, indeed, but remember; you were in doubt,
Well, that's what you get for stretching things out!
