The Second Chance

THE SECOND CHANCE

Looking towards heaven I whine,

‘YOU’ have just not been kind

That lump in my throat as I dine,

Resentful thoughts choke my mind;

Scintillating stars shine teeth white,

Yet they fail to ignite any spark

Emptiness lay in this endless night,

Is there a ray beyond this dark?

“Maybe I didn’t need it at all”

“Maybe the dream was just whimsical”

I thought it could be real,

Turned out to be rather mystical

 

Don’t want to fight for it

Don’t want to be just another rebel,

Want to be back in my closed shell,

Cozy little place where ‘The Gods' dwell

‘Life’s just perfect’ inside this cocoon,

as I wait for the Breaking dawn

Time is ticking, well past noon,

as I slumber on a lush green lawn

Get me out of this wrap

 I’ve missed the beat,  I’ve ruined the dance,

“Time has passed, go have your nap,

You’ll have to wait, for maybe a second chance”

I want to Yell, I want to Scream; 

But all I can is hope, akin a game of dice;

Might be better to let go the dream; 

Opportunity seldom comes twice.

But won’t Give Up is what I Swore; 

Be it an arduous circumstance,

‘Knock ! Knock !’ then bangs on the door

Damn! I Hope it’s ‘The Second Chance’

Do Drop a line if you like the poem
My favourite stanza:-

"Don’t want to fight for it

Don’t want to be just another rebel,

Want to be back in my closed shell,

Cozy little place where ‘The Gods' dwell"
