New Beginnings

reflections of us in that mirror transparent for all
inner shadows of our soul, sliced and diced and measured
the past is a book full of pages of our own
our lives lived secretly as our mind worked and tiptoed

we thought we can hide the silent us
we thought we can juggle the true us
we thought, yes we thought

in some ways life is like a play
we act our parts skillfully
like actors we emote
like actors we give our all

but at the end the play must stop
as the curtain behind will drop
as the darkened room will light
as a signal that we needed to depart
and live our very own true lives

thanks for the illusions
it did brought us smile for sometime
it brought us laughter
even only for just one night

better than nothing
better than blank
now we have the memories
to last our lives

who could say that illusions
are just fakes
who could say that illusions
are just make believes
we have the smiles
in our memories
yes, we have smiled
to prove
that we were happy
once

but then the curtain fell
and the music left
tho' with hope of
another play at another day
same partner, same characters
as the end is a good place to start
all over again and one more time

the lights would be up
running
and
shining
in that ceiling
beautifully and brightly
for another round of play
for another moment of display

of those fantastic lights above
of those bright lights above
for all of us to see

a new beginning
and
another piece
as we say goodbye
to yesterday
and we say hello
to a hopeful today :)

thanks for your wonderful art, dear artists :)
