Blurred Realities

Cheers of Wins and Hails of Glory.

Telling one that he’s done so much.

Never asking if ‘so much’ matters.

Tears of failures and cries for lost dreams.

Taunting another that he isn’t good enough.

Nudging him to give up on what truly matters.

Two lives, Two men, on the same journey.

Unknowingly brought together by unplanned chaos.

Voices, Noises, Chants and Whispers.

Blasting horns, desperate hawkers and unmoving car lanes,

Forces each to look within himself.

What each finds is an easily forgotten truth.

The things that matter can easily get lost.

In vain celebration or deep despair, life’s beauty becomes a blur.

But with one moment of sight and renewed vision,

Focus makes everything clear.
