Beyond horizon

 I don’t know if it’s good or bad, if it’s worth it or not, but I can’t be mad at people for a long time. When our patience is tested, at times we react differently, and regret it later. If we are not happy with our reactions, life always gives us a chance to undo our mistakes, with awareness. I feel, it’s
always good to make a conscious choice of reversing that moment of regret, and be at peace.

2015,Goa
Beyond horizon reached the woods dark;
where the Sun had sprinkled its scarlet hues.
With daggers of actions they left the mark;
for how long will they pay their dues?      
:
Where the Sun had sprinkled its scarlet hues;
in liquid thoughts and distilled dreams.
For how long will they pay their dues?
In frosted breath and wondrous themes.

:
In liquid thoughts and distilled dreams;
reversing a moment of regret.
In frosted breath and wondrous themes
shedding the burden of upset.
:

Reversing a moment of regret;
with daggers of actions they left the mark.
Shedding the burden of upset;
beyond horizon reached the woods dark.
