Eulogy For the Living

Sitting by the lake on a full moon night, in the stillness of the water moon is shining in its full bloom, and the clear sky was all star studded,cool breeze was giving shivers, and in the bushes around insects were creating cacophony which was getting subdued by rustle of fallen leaves in the wind and an obsolete boat was stranded in the middle of the lake along the pole on which birds were enjoying their nap.

I was sitting on the raised platform with my hands resting on the railing and my chin on my hands, plethora of thoughts oscillating in my mind and with each oscillation I was having goosebumps, "The Big Red Book" was lying in my lap and this poem 

"An eye is meant to see things.

The soul is here for its own joy.

A head has one use: For loving a true love.

Feet: To chase after.

Love is for vanishing into the sky. The mind,

for learning what men have done and tried to do.

Mysteries are not to be solved: The eye goes blind when it only wants to see why.

A lover is always accused of something.

But when he finds his love, whatever was lost

in the looking comes back completely changed."

was doing wonders.

I was in two minds and was not able to decide is it the time to give up or to try harder, maybe this is giving me goosebumps or maybe it is the chill in the air.

But, after lot of arguing with my alter ego and ifs and buts and whens and wheres and what nots, i fathomed that it's useless and will be vain to force someone, because if there is even an iota of truthfulness in the feelings, love will find its ways and if not, than I should not mind losing someone who was never mine.

And all this, should not deter me from expressing what you mean to me.

I don't understand why do we wait for someone's passing to talk about how amazing they were. An eulogy for somenone who cant even hear what you are saying.

Maybe there would be less pain hurt suffering wondering and suicides if we eulogise the living. Start now when when your words can have the most impact. Eulogise those who mean the most to us before they leave us.Save you stress and hurtful words for the inanimate. 

Never have to worry about  saying I wish or did they know how I love them.

Don't  live with regrets.
Our lives all end,
we just don't  know when.
