Written by Maria Mathew
Kindness is breathtakingly beautiful,
I ask only for one more chance
To undo the knots to your soul again
What a beautiful heart, a sight to behold
The morsels you allowed turned me covetous
You mellow down my unforgiving world
I ask only for one more day
To exchange keys to our very own museums
You said, what a beautiful mind
Yet now i wonder if i’m as forgettable as your silence reflects
My violent paradoxes are laughable
How does a little flower ever survive running through the deserts
I grew thorns and tiptoed around a foreign land
Now i’m planted back home but stay a brashly sweet starlet
I’ve seen too many wolves in the neck of the woods
Being terribly trustful is a thankless experience
Misplaced trust often pushes you to imaginary canyons
You saved a child drowning in a bitter sea ,
Breathed in unwavering, unabating hope
And went back to tending to your favourite lilies
The blame is on none for my treacherous hope
I’ve now found my way back to long forsaken little joys
Saw glimmers of what i once lost in your eyes again
I’ll tend to this child you’ve set free
And for that, hold you in reverence, from this day on…
