The Rise

The sun has risen,

the morning has dawned,
the night may not have been peaceful
but still it is a new morrow.

You wish life itself starts afresh,
but this is the best that you would get,
so let your heart rise high,
free your mind off the sorrows,  

It's a new beginning,

embrace it when you can,

it isn't wront to forget the pain,

because the feeling etched in your mind is real.

Most convenient as it may seem,
you cannot just survive,                       
cuz life is to be lived for others,
as much as it is for your own self.

while you drench in the rain of sorrow,
those are the tears of one who cares,
to let them not shed a tear,
is what life becomes about.

So with a new zeal,        

you rise like a phoenix,
wondering whether the nightmare that reduced you to ashes is over,             
and you see a smile, the smile that says,
"life is beautiful, come rise again..."
