Heart Of Stone

by End Of Eternity   Jun 1, 2009


If things changed by closing our eyes
And only true love could silence screams
What difference would have been left
Between reality and beautiful dreams

Am I like any other common man
Who wants more than they need
Considering satisfaction as just a level
Which comes after their greed

Will we look inside to find peace
And not judge life which we can't change
Bitter words bleed the heart we love
Yet in the end we are all the same

We humans would never understand
Reflections on the other side of fence
While smiles say a thousand words
Color won't make a tiny difference

There you stand Lord embracing this world
Consuming every human's pain
Hearing thoughts before they reach lips
And forgiving sins again and again

The sun will rise again tomorrow
Will the world have changed at all
Beauty reflecting through the trees
How many more lives will have to fall

Despite your arms around my shoulder
Still feel I'm standing naked all alone
Though I'm not the only one feeling this
It's as if my heart has turned to stone

    Nitin,
    Oh my dear. I was so taken aback when I read this and thought how beautiful, yet sad this whole poem is. Congrats on your club win and deservingly so.

    Am I like any other common man
    Who wants more than they need
    Considering satisfaction as just a level
    Which comes after their greed

    ^^ Such a very unique line here and the truth it fortells is immeasurable. We often do consider satisfaction as just a level we reach. The sad thing is that we will always want more when we reach that level. It is human nature.

    Will we look inside to find peace
    And not judge life which we can't change
    Bitter words bleed the heart we love
    Yet in the end we are all the same

    ^^ Yes in the end we are all the same. Regardless of circumstances, wealth, nationality, or religion. When we die we are dead and that is final.

    Despite your arms around my shoulder
    Still feel I'm standing naked all alone
    Though I'm not the only one feeling this
    It's as if my heart has turned to stone

    ^^ Sometimes it is very easy to question the religion and wonder if there is a God then why would all this suffering take place. You have penned a masterpiece in my opinion. Nitin, this is such a beautiful and deep write. I am so glad you posted this and I think you have penned a very worthy piece. This is by far one of the most intellectual pieces I have read that didn't carry you so far past the meaning with metaphors that you couldn't read between the obscure lines. Wonderful write here my dear and in my opinion it is a 5/5 on any site.
    Take Care,
    Kay
