Does it all even matter?

Despite it all,
Life chugs along,
Adversity is a passing phase,
Take it in your stride,
Broaden your gaze,
Embrace life,
Forgetting strife,
Some times are difficult indeed,
Things not always turn out as you need,
Woe befalls, dreams shatter,
Yet, in His grand design -
In the larger scheme of things,
Does it all even matter?

Tomorrow

A new day, a new way,
New vistas, new scenes,
Places and situations new.
Solutions many, hurdles just a few...
All this, and more,
Does tomorrow bring,
Full of promise and hope,
Does the new day spring.

Reminding one of the fact,
That life is in full flow,
And that one should renew one's self-made pact,
On harbored aspirations, act.
To pave the way for a future,
In which one has a say,
For tomorrow dawns a brand new day.

Time Dilation

Why is it,
That, when you desire most,
Does time come to a standstill;
All but halts?

You will it on,
To just skip a few ticks,
Yet, never does you it obey.
It always has its own way.

Its hard, it really is,
To watch time slide by slowly,
As you, there stand,
Helpless, hand in hand.

Wish that there was a knob,
That could give you some control,
To the sands of time,
To bend them to your will...
Alas...

Hope

Guess I've written something similar in the past too...but still...:)

****

When all seems lost,
And all seems bleak,
Never abandon hope,
Its always there -
The silver lining,
Amidst the dark clouds,
The solitary leaf,
On the barren tree,
The occasional smile,
Amidst the tears.

Cling onto it,
Through all your struggles,
And then, one day,
It'll be spring again.
The sun will shine through,
The leaves will unfurl,
And the smile will return.
