if what I have read between lines is correct
I think you are in a happier place
I do enjoy basking in the warm glow
as you brighten up with joy
I do sincerely wish for your well-being
Congratulations

Marching band
this is a tired marching band of one
sang the grand opening in sunrise
humming soothing jazz in the evening
cried for the call of battle
for glory, for protection, for freedom
but now, as the sunsets
and I doze off now and then
i wonder what all had meant.
perhaps, and hopefully,
someone’s life.

age is a strange thing, you see
in an older eyes, all appears to be seen
pride from ignorance, lust for violence,
all foolishness, and idiosyncratic conscience
yet, let the lips be sealed,
and see what the world has to show
what such person may behave.

You
I am thinking about you
you were always there
in times of hardship
in times of peace
no matter what others say
no matter what you had to go through
hang on with me just a little longer
we are pushing ahead for another run
it won’t be the last,
and no guarantee we’ll come back
but at least we are in this together.
one more time, into the fray, we go.

Rise
this isn’t the time to fall asleep
this isn’t a time for a self-pity
it’s time to see the world as it is
and act on what you can change
prepare for what may be hard to change
it’s a trick of the mind you need to see through
when you walk through dark tunnel
under the weight of an ocean
I wish you a safe journey.

The sun
It’s hard to describe:
it’s too bright to see
but I feel it is warm
I sense softeness in it
I also see its scorching heat
beyond words, beyond what can be seen
I believe.
it is there.
And I walk into the darkness
with the faith in my heart
and hope it will guide me the way.
it is a leap of faith.

Symphony
blinded by vast horizon full of minuscule particles
lying beneath abysmally dark night sky,
I close my eyes and feel for the passing breeze,
carrying a scent, a dream-like hint, slipping into my eyes,
closed yet listening, tracing threads, weaving
a multivariate symphony of breaths,
humming and purring comfortably into the mystery.

Dearest
dear, I wish you love.
yes, don’t be sorry
be merry
in what you do,
what you choose to become
be happy
and yes, it would be nice
if you stayed
a little longer by my side
but go where your heart tells
I will be content
in knowing your heart is full.

Resting butterfly
A butterfly sat on a table across from me
I stared at it; it back at me
for a moment, we sat still; just staring.
I stared at it so intently that
I felt like I could feel shivers in its wings.
then it flew; and what I could describe as levity,
I felt. As the world whirled and bobbed,
I could find joy in my heart.
then it flew and flew, far enough
where my mere physical sight could not reach
and when I knew it was gone
I made a song
to commemorate our encounter.

Infusion
in every move I make
I hope it inspires positivity
I wish there to be productivity
I yearn for more love
and I dream for happier times.
yes, it may sound naive
but watch and see
what the future beholds
