there is joy
then there is sorrow
and then there is us
somewhere
in between
there is silence
then there are words
and then there is conflict
somewhere
in between
there is the shallow
then there is the deep
and then there is turmoil
somewhere
in between
there is the search
then there is the discovery
and then there is disbelief
somewhere
in between
there is the actor
then there is the dreamer
and then there is me
somewhere
in between
there is you
then there is me
and then there is us
somewhere
in between

I'm back home now -- arrived on Sunday. Lots of stories; will share them in due time :)
About Me
- musafir
- "A man is the history of his breaths and thoughts, acts, atoms and wounds, love, indifference, and dislike; also of his race and nation, the soil that fed him and his forebears, the stones and sands of his familiar places, long-silenced battles and struggles of conscience, of the smiles of girls and the slow utterance of old women, of accidents and the gradual action of inexorable law, of all this and something else too, a single flame which in every way obeys the laws that pertain to Fire itself, and yet is lit and put out from one moment to the next, and can never be relumed in the whole waste of time to come." Possession by A.S. Byatt

Isn't "us" always beyond "u" and "me".:)

Nice one rajesh !
Very nice Rajesh, has a nice 'rythm' to it even as I read it. :)
Very nice. This one was my favourite,
"there is the search
then there is the discovery
and then there is disbelief
somewhere
in between"
To me this disbelief remains surpressed a lot of the time. I guess it is important to recognize it.
there is the hope
then there is reality
and then there is life
somewhere
in between
Ankita
there is birth
then there is death
and then there is a living
somewhere
in between to enjoy!!
Well written buddy...
Keep writing..
Waiting for the stories to come in ...
There is "n"
And there is "b."
And in-between,
I put a hyphen.
I actually like your poem, I just can't help myself with that sort of thing.
@ consumer demon: I'm not sure if all of them will be to your liking!
@ samudraa: Thanks. Interesting observation. Totally agree, but only in one context. But then "us" could mean so many other things, and sometimes there is a tendency to hold back, and the common ground is hard to find.
@ kripa shankar: :)
@ anon: Thanks - simplicity is so difficult sometimes, and it felt good writing this one.
@ brood mode: Sometimes a "discovery" is sacred because it's secret, and sometimes it's sacred, and hence secret!
@ harry: Duly completed!
@ srikar: Thanka and welcome back! Been missing for some time haven't you? Fabulous photographs by the way :)
@ ravi: Great! Rhythm is something I've been trying to infuse, and I'm glad you could feel it. Thanks!
@ .:a:. : The disbelief is something I've learnt to be conscious of, and use it to fuel the search sometimes. I feel that's when one grows emotionally. Appreciate the insightful comment.
Can't wait to talk about the stories :)
@ Ankita: Wonderful - it always feels great when people build on something and add their perspective. Agree with what you have written, and I feel it's all about bridging that gap.
Thanks for your comment - do drop by again. Do you have a blog of your own?
@ vinu: Like I said, it's wonderful when people add on. Agree with your thoughts about enjoying life :)
Thanks for commenting and the encouragement - do visit again.
@ paul: touche! Point taken!
Thanks for dropping by!
@ samudraa: In hindsight, the "between" is when it's still "you" and "me", and "us" is when it's "beyond" - point conceded :)
Absolutely
we are in total sync here.
Nice! Love it! :)
Agree.
@ samudraa: You bet!
@ sayesha: Thanks - glad you liked it. Looking forward to seeing you around again.
@ .:a:. : :-)
this is a fantastic thought...beautifully told
uma
@ uma : Thanks for dropping by and your comment - appreciate it!
