Reetun Roy


Light

Reetun Roy 


When everything is dark 
Everything tears apart 
I see the light 
Going away to the path of salvation 

When everything is gone 
When everyone's all alone 
I see the light 
Going away to the path of salvation 

And when the light goes on it's way 
Maybe at the end of the day 
The darkness threatens to engulf 
But it still keeps glowing with it's tiny ray

Some of the lights writh and shrink 
Some of them struggle and try 
Some of them reach the top 
Some of them simply fly

Some of them die before mortal death 
Some of them succeed before salvation
Some of them struggle to no end 
Some of them spend rays and lives with a friend

... 


That Old Broken Headphone 

While reading that old book
Beside that ceramic coffee mug
In that old comfy small apartment room
With that old purple rug

Drumming my fingers to the 
Good old Beetles song
With that old broken headphone
Nothing could have gone wrong 

When suddenly employment, finances
Job that was to be gotten 
In rush of life, in rush of the new life 
That good old headphone lay forgotten
