A Song to Remember

A song to remember



I was a soul long lost in the illusion of life

I lent my ears to what the wind had to murmur

Was it noise? Or just a sound?

It was a pleasant song; A song to remember



As I recited the song in my own tongue,

A new meaning was borne by the words it entailed,

A meaning that was beautiful indeed

A meaning that led me by hand



I was a fool to have tried to seek its meaning,

For It was blown away from me by the wind of time

Such a song was meant for the artistic minds

I am but an ignorant savage to even give it a meaning of my own.



Yet I put all the blame on my fate.

For all I deserved to know was that it is a beautiful song,

That filled my heart and flamed my mind

And expect but nothing more.



Though disappointed but not disheartened

I walked down the lane chosen by my will,

For I had the song already engraved in my heart

And It breathed life into my soul,



It created a warrior out of me who was a vagrant once.

With an armour as strong as my makers' will

And a sword that would shame steel

I started my quest with a song to remember



As I made my way through the valley of death,

Leading my legion, drawing blood

With an unmatched courage and untethered heart,

All I had was my song rhyming in the depths of my heart



Standing at the top of the cliff, at the helm of my conquest,

I cast my eyes on the path ahead that I have to myself set upon.

But I, the warrior have not forgotten the journey so far

For that song ruminates with in me at each step.



As I saddle up to embrace my destiny,

I take a moment to thank the poet- Almighty,

the creator of such a marvel; and hopes

That it keeps on flaming inside me.



Will I ever know,

if the song would ever realize what it meant to me?

How much I held it close to my heart?

For that song was life itself;



I gallop towards the unknown lands,

With nothing but a prayer in my heart.

May that beautiful song find the deserving ears to fall upon,

For it’s a song to remember.
