Sometimes when
we try to have a strong grip on our life….it just slips away, it just melts.
Whenever we think we can control life, it becomes unruly. Sometimes we move,
sometimes we run, and in both we are subtly chasing life.
Why this chase???
Sometimes it’s for success, sometimes for money, sometimes for luck, sometimes
for dreams, sometimes for fame, sometimes for relationships, sometimes for
lust, sometimes for love. In total, just
to have a perfect frame for life. Sometimes this chase is for an unknown
horizon, unknown shadow of hope, unknown shadow of love, shadow of fate and
fortune, unknown solace, unknown bliss, and unknown ecstasy. Sometimes we chase
for something which is bound to happen, which is destined, but not knowing this
we keep running after it. We become travelers, we become vagabonds.
The chase
differs from person to person and so it’s meaning and significance. But what is
common is that is every one is running after something. Though we stumble and fall, but we rise
again, though we sometimes step back but again we step forward, sometimes we
sit quietly, but we talk again, sometimes we become still but we move again,
sometimes we sink in darkness but we traverse towards light, to continue just
to have few drops of hope, to have few words, for a new dawn, for those budding
dreams, for fantasies, for our fairytales, for reality.
Many a times in
life, we land nowhere even after acquiring for what we have chased for so long,
so persistently, so dramatically, nothingness becomes our friend, and emptiness
becomes our beloved. The crisscrossed lines of our sweating palms becomes hazy,
faded and finally disappear just like a moon amidst the unclear sky.
We still inhale
life, extract our dreams and move on, the chase continues till our last
breath…and our soul glancing at it.
yup!! strange thoughtless crazy it is sometimes "the constant chasing "
ReplyDeleteAnd many a times, we attain what we desired for and chased after, only o realize that it wasn't so important afterall, and somethings that we let go in lieu of it were far more desirable, or so they seem now.
ReplyDeleteNice introspective post.

ReplyDeleteSimply superb, a very solicitous and precisely woven with words. Really Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim...
