Clouds or Not
by Carrie Harris
While I lay here
On the sandy beach
With the wind caressing my rosy cheeks
I look up into the empty blue sky
And wonder when a white cloud will come by.
My gaze is transfix to that empty blue
Just waiting for that cloud I knew.
Something whispers into my ear
Saying "Never give up hope My lovely dear."
Those few words
Touched my grieving heart
And my world starts to spin like a weaving dart.
Going back to those memories, that I hold so dear.
Making my soul ache, from that night of fear.
When my love was lost in those past years.
Before my love was lost to me
He said "look up in the sky
When it's empty and blue
And find a white cloud that nobody knew.
That will be me,
Looking down at you.
I promised, I will always love you."

Instant Tears
Annal Mele Pani Thuli
Alaipayum oru kili
Maram thedum mazhai thuli
Ivaithaane ival ini
Imai irandum thani thani
Urakangal urai pani
Edarkaagha tadai ini
Yendha kaatrin alavalil malaridalgal virinthidumo
Yendha theva vinadiyil manaaraigal thirandidumo
Oru siruvali iranthaduve idayatile idayatile
Unadhu iru vizhi tadaviyathaal amizhnthuvitten mayakathile
Udhirattume udalin thirai
Adu thaan ini nilavin karai karai
Santhipoome Kanaakalil Silamurayaa Palamurayaa
Anthi Vaanil Ulaavinaal
Adhu unnaku Ninaivillaya
Iru Tharaikalai Udaithidave Perughiduvaa Kadal Alaiyae
Iru Iru Uyir Thathalikayil Vazhi solluma Kalangaraye
Unadhalaighal ennai adikka
Karai servathum kanaavil nighazhndida.

Wish
My only wish for now...
To end up like Jamie.. in A Walk to Remember...
Perhaps then, people would realise that people matter more... More than rules, more than beliefs, more than anything else..
And I'd have at least a summer... Of bliss... That is all I ask for...
Landon: I'm sorry she never got her miracle.
Reverend Sullivan: She did. It was you.
Jamie: Without suffering there would be no compassion.
Landon: Yeah, well tell that to those who suffer.
Jamie: I'm sick.
Landon: I'll take you home. You'll be be...
Jamie: No. Landon! I'm sick. I have Leukemia.
Landon: No. You're 18. You - you're perfect.
Jamie: No. I found out two years ago and I've stopped responding to treatments.
Landon: So why didn't you tell me?
Jamie: The doctor said I should go on and live life normally as best I could. I - I didn't want anybody to be weird around me.
Landon: Including me?
Jamie: Especially you! [Jamie looks down]
Jamie: [Landon gets upset]
Jamie: Ya know, I was getting along with everything fine. I accepted it, and then you happened! I do not need a reason to be angry with God.

Horoscopes
A Bad Habit Can Spoil A Good Horoscope.
That line made me think alot. Thank you *i*es* for giving me something to think about.. That line was off a poster that encouraged people to quit smoking. True, isn't it? Horoscopes, supposed to have so much significance in a person's life, especially if you're Indian and Hindu. The importance that families give to horsocopes, can drive you to the point of insanity at times.. Don't take me wrongly. I am not denouncing this practise, neither am I saying it shouldn't be followed.. I am merely stating my thoughts on this matter..
Two people who get along, who have no issues in terms of communication, who are the best of friends, who love being around each other, who sit and await the dawn of the next day just so they can see the other person - what is wrong in them being together? But they cannot be if some planets in their horoscopes are not in the right position, which means they will have fights and quarrels later in future and a marriage is called off.. Nobody stops to think that this could be a self fulfilling prophecy in future.. Who does not fight? Which couple gets through life without fighting here and there? Some fight more, some fight less.. Eventually they will settle down together.. Just because they fight does not mean they love each other any less, does it? If a dating couple in love fight although they see each other for limited periods each day, isn't it only natural that married couples who live together under the same roof, with different lifestyles and habits fight as well? How is this determined by planets? And if you were to go againts the beliefs and choose to follow your mind, and then you end up fighting, everyone says the prediction came true and it is a case of a self fulfilling prophecy.. Everything that may go wrong naturally would be blamed on the fact that the astrology was not followed..
And then there is the issue of two people not being allowed to get married because one life is at risk if they get together, now that's sad too.. A couple in love, who get along, who have no issues, who may have been friends for years before and they are stopped from starting a life together cuz the astrology states that one will die if they get married.. So what if they had been living together, cohabiting for years and all was good, but marriage would kill one? How does an exchange of vows and rings suddenly throw one on the death bed..
Im not insulting traditions or looking down on them.. I do believe in it to an extent too.. But I feel it's unfair too.. Sometimes I tend to think ignorance is bliss and knowledge is such a burden.. Not knowing would allow you to live your life in a carefree manner, without worrying about when what was predicted is going to happen... In fear.. Living each day with worry...
Like the line at the top says , "A Bad Habit Can Spoil A Good Horoscope." Everything can go well according to the astrologer's prediction. Your horoscopes can be perfect.. your planets and moons can be at the perfect positions.. but what if he was an alcoholic? Or a chain smoker, who can't quit.. Wouldn't that take his life? Then whose fault is it?
What is true? What is meant to be? How much do we give in and how much should we fight against what we are made to believe in? Do we allow the horoscopes to determine our path in life and sit and wonder all the way if we made a mistake or fight against beliefs and stick by what you want...
As sad as it is, eventually even if you want to fight and go by your choice and follow your heart, it's the beliefs that emerge triumphant.. And you find yourself succumbing to fate and doing what you were supposed to do - abide by the rules... And whether that gives you a happily ever after , you will have to wonder all the way...
