THE EVER LASTING STRUGGLE

The ever lasting struggle

The Shimmering Cascades of love

The assorted colors of spring tide

The mounting fragrance of blooms

The holy chuckles of a sinless child

The conquered silence by birds

The chattering aura of rain

The listed calls on the phone

The awaited knocks at the door

The warmest greetings from friends

The enchanting praises at ends

The ignited candles at the table

The glossy lights down the street

The sequel of childhood collections

The wisdom in instinctive thoughts

The charm in fulfilment of wishes

The sight of a shooting star

Nothing feels relieving enough

Enough to extinguish the fire inside

Enough to battle the recalls inside

Nothing feels soothing enough

Enough for better choices to make

Enough for better chances to take

Peaceful the luminosity outside is

Revengeful the darkness inside is

Will this struggle ever end?
