The Sudden Change

By Amatullah Padghawala

A soothing change that moved my heart,

A drastic change that seemed unreal.

Life cannot be better and complete without The Sudden Change.

A life that had no purpose,

While I existed and merely lived.

Profound lessons dropped my ignorance as I embraced The Sudden Change.

As I opened a new chapter in my book,

It read 'It's just you and Lord from here',

As I lost friends and relationships, I sobbed over The Sudden Change.

In lord I found solace,

As he helped me know people,

Attachments are dissatisfying because nobody can always choose you.

I learnt to let go of people and move ahead with The Sudden Change.

People around me still raced,

While I froze in time.

I looked up into the skies and hoped for people to understand The Sudden Change.

But can anybody ever understand your battles?

Can anyone ever dig into your soul to know your struggles?

I pulled the sword out and began swaying it alone.

Hoping that my actions will be loud enough to reveal The Sudden Change.

Tomorrow is a mystery,

It is up to you to create history.

All one can do is pray for shade while burning in the sun to satisfy The Sudden Change.
