Revelations

There will come a day, 

once in your lifetime, 

which you will reminisce
 for the rest of your days.

Because precisely at that point,

your course takes an U-turn;

Traveling through the same mountains,

the same rivers, the same woods,

all of which were left behind, 

seems to be coming towards you;

Its a new view of the same things

just from the opposite side!

Because prejudice will try to

choose the best, but there’s no best,

Just the convenient truth,

You are comfortable with.

Its like the intermission of a movie,

wherein the villain is just revealed.

But in real life, there is none.

Only perceptions from different corners,
to add enough melodramas and tragedies.

Its like the central hub of a book

where in every page is bound to

by a single bold yet invisible thread.

And there are equal number of pages 

on either side of it, wanting to be read.

Its like a half-life of a 

radioactive isotope, losing 

half of its atomic weight 

and waiting to lose the other half

and disintegrate into the thin air.

Sometimes you have seen it all wrong

in white and black, all along.

And conveniently forgot the grey!

Grey is where people fit in.
And we are the people in the fray.

So, there will come a day, 

once in your lifetime, 

which you will reminisce
 for the rest of your days.

Because that day, you will realize,
how good it is to let go;

And there are no rights and wrongs,

Just convenient truths.
