I wander,
To perceive a reverie,
Glistening and glimmering,
On the dreary road,
Where they blather of her,
Giggling and bustling,
Rumbling in oceans mirth,
As if there was no shore.
They Said:
She dreamt,
Of the enchanted moon,
And bright stars,
For she had befriended,
The dark-dark night.
They said:
She was free,
To posses;
Emotions so wild,
And wishes like horses.
Ah, what a dove, I say!
Lately I am being involved in some agony aunt sessions with various people, I seriously will to escape but there isn't much choice; I have to stay, for they are my people. In those moments of distress, either I feel like crashing and crumbling my computer down (in case of chats or calls on Google Talk, Gmail, Skype and Yahoo) or dumping my phone in some ice cold water so that, I do not have to confront them.
Usually whilst listening and delivering the pep talk, I appear like epic, well not that I don't like that but at the back of my mind there is a different story running altogether. I plainly get disappointed with myself, honestly, not because I cannot meet the expectations but purely because the inner me questions, where am I lost?
I keep wandering into the caves of darkness sometimes blaming, sometimes regretting and at times cherishing. I question where have the sentiments that I possessed disappeared, why do I not experience, the gush, as they all do when I too have been living in similar conditions. Am I really so sane, that I experience nothing anymore, have I forgotten what pain is like? I used to at certain point of time, isn’t it? I remember how easily tears would make their way down the hill, and now what? Have I really learned to let go and grow? I have no answers.
Really I am talking gibberish today; kindly excuse me if you guys had to tolerate my insanity.

Cheer up, for they turn to you, they believe you. Calm down, you know the answers, live up to them. Be happy, for having helped them.
It is easy to instruct than to confront, but when the suggestions are inlaid with memories and experiences, the trouble is half over.
A grownup is a child with layers on, though inside as 'they' said you are and will always be the dove, that is you! :)
"...Giggling and bustling,

being agony aunt isn't that bad. sometimes it helps you to understand yourself.
and beautiful write...
@Blasphemous: Well I guess you are right. But you know what there requires a lot of strength to instruct someone during their odds. Thanks :)
@Sourav: Sigh! Yes indeed may be I am dove just at times the wings disappear :P
@Rajlakshmi: Well yes being agony aunt is never bad, I agree. It is indeed noble but then it isn't that simple too, there has to be lot of sanity to handle your own people in worst conditions.Thanks for the comment and welcome :)
i agree with saurav's comment completely..
Thanks Megha :)
I agree with Blasphemous and Rajlakshmi.
It may get exhausting but it is easy to guide because you see things objectively, also you echo the thoughts that were there in your mind but waiting for you to spell out and etch a deeper mark in your mind with the spoken word. It is good for you to listen what you may have to say.
Like the book - Secret suggests, one should not even know negative talks/pain/anger, just a glimpse and tell yourself it is not meant for you.
Also, I feel, you may be numb, not because of complacency, but because you are absorbing your own experiences and testing how far you may go. May be because you have a better relationship with yourself than many do. May be you are over optimistic like I am...
@Malvika: Wow, that really was a thoughtful comment. Thank You & welcome. "It is good for you to listen what you may have to say". You really said something that makes me think, maybe yes I should try listening to myself more. The Secret yes I have read it & watched it too, it teaches a lot, I know :). I do not know whether I test or not but there is something that makes me think of 'giving' i am unsure where it comes from and why. Lastly sharing a better relationship with myself maybe yes you are right, yet I am quite unsure still. I wish to be optimistic or I am, again a question!
