In anticipation

Wondering what the future holds
Hopes and wishes and prayers abound
For a peek into the life yet to come
For where the events are going to turn
Some dreams hold the secret
Some prayers give the comfort
Wishing it becomes as beautiful as a dream
Floating lightly in a lively stream
A dream I dream and a dream you have
Of what the life is going to share
For every prayer has an answer
And every dream has a believer
For future is a page unturned
Waiting for its time to come

Understanding

It seems funny that those who claim to know do not know and those who know make no such claims. For it is easy to say a thing on the superficial level while very difficult to go deeper into the vast ocean of unknown and come out untouched, unperturbed. But another thing is that those whose lives have been so touched, rarely let a show of it. They have a calm outlook, sharing with only those who dare to come near them, who are willing to be drenched in the experience rather than just play with the bubbles. Making theories about others and claiming to know how other people feel is just a fool's way, a real person tries to feel as others feel, experience what the others are experiencing. Life is not as simple as it seems and sometimes those we think as fools know more about the truths of living and co-existing than the so called wise men. A child may know more than a professor. In such a circumstance it is always better to accept what the other person is saying instead of stereotyping but putting entirely different individuals in the same class.
