Keep Walking

by Manisha

 A shiver wakes me up,

Out in the fog I walk.
Cool breeze in my hair
And face turning pale,
I stop a while...
...just a while.
Maybe I should have stayed-
Maybe till the day breaks!

Coming across hazy figures
And some strange faces.
Neither love nor hate-
But only empty spaces.
Moving out from darkness,
I know not where I head.
Maybe I should have stayed-
Maybe till the day breaks!

Footsteps of my own I hear
And my heart rhythm along.
Some unknown song I hum
As I walk towards the rising sun.
But I still feel the chill
And some darkness lingers on.
Maybe I should have stayed-
Maybe till the day breaks!

Sun kisses softly on my face,
The sight much clear and melody reverberates.
In the embrace of a long lost friend,
To a new beginning I wake up.
With a renewed strength to move on
Breaking through the darkness like a ray-
I silently pray 'coz I'm glad today...

...I never stayed-
not even till the day breaks!
