Smile in a lie

Hopping from one time to another
And, waiting for the darkness to clear
He prayed. She prayed.


Growing amidst the fading memories
And, mesmerized with life’s vagaries
He wondered. She wondered.


Covered in the smoke of love
And, buried under the load of hope
He sighed. She sighed.


Sitting out with a cold beer
And, counting the shivers of the fear
He wept. She wept.

Waking up to the stars of future
And, fighting away the life’s daily demure
He walked. She walked.


Flogging away the life
Together, they found truth in a lie
And Then They Smiled.

Beautiful poem. If we take the mundane out and fill it with fantasy, guess it will not to be a lie. It will be a wonderful dream to sooth us and make us smile :)
