#AtoZChallenge: Day 1: A -- A Long Wait..!!

Gone are the days of roses and daffodils

Gone are the days of music of birds and rains

I stare at the distant hills

My heart wandering around

Searching for ‘me’

Lost in the speed of time

Dancing to the daily chores

Then I find her, my mate, my pen

Equally lost and awaiting my hint

As I touch, the breeze flew hard

And there were the dancing daffodils

Rustling music of the leaves

Flickering tunes of the raindrops

As if they were around since long

Just then I see

Inward

To realize, life wasn’t lost

It left to let me enjoy the bliss of solitude

Of being with me myself

I was lost in my beauty

And drunk in my splendor

Yet I held her tight

Determined not to let her go

For its her presence

That has brought me back

To my land of dreams

A place of love life and happiness

My pen, you were missed..!!!

WINNING..!!!

"And the winner is Ms. Jenny Rose" he announced and the whole gathering burst into a great applause.

She was already waiting her fingers crossed while the nominations were read aloud. She was nominated for the World's best poetry awards, "International Poetic Merit Award" given by the International society of poets every year to the World's best poet. She was nominated every year for the last 9 years and this was the 10th time. But till today, the dream wasnt true.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Put your hands together for Mr.Jenny Rose" the anchor calls out.

She was still waiting at her chair unable to believe that she is called and this time not just nomination but she has actually won the award. After a while, when she realized she walked towards the dias to collect the award.

In the black evening gown, she looked at her best. Walking elegantly with her head high trying hard to stop her tears carrying a beautiful smile, she was the most beautiful lady in the gathering. Every eye was looking at her admiring her beauty and cherishing her success. It was like a happy moment to everyone present there.

"Congratulations Jenny. Good job" He wished her while handing over the award.
"Ladies and Gentleman, its Ms. Jenny rose for you" announced the anchor while handing over the mic to her.

"Thank you dear. Thank you everyone for this award...." the list was very big. she thanked almost everyone she knew in life.

After the thank you session, she continued to speak "Now that i hold this award in my hands, I am falling short of words to express my joy. I was sitting there for the last nine years waiting for this moment and today when my dream has come true, I feel I was not prepared."

"I enjoyed writing all my life but today while stand here with this award, the only thing that comes to my mind is the picture that my dad clicked when I was 5 and the first time I took my pen. I dedicate this award to my dad who has been a constant support and my best critic"

"I promise to come back here the next year and get nominated again and I think, I will better be prepared with the speech from the next year as you never know, any day you may win"

"Thank you everyone. Thanks a ton"

EMERGE

From letters
egress pretty words
docile and smooth
playful as I wish

From words
go forth poesy
pearly and neat
emblazoned as I wish

From poesy
come out poetry
sweet and special
illuminated as I wish

From poetry
emerge a poet
strong yet ardent
person as I wish

From poet
I am born again
to live life
with tinges of joy

Z--ZEAL..!!!

The zeal to dance
off the shore
never dies
of any wave

The zeal to rhythm
to the joyful music
never stops
of my little heart

The zeal to dream
off the world
never is down
from my land of dreams

The zeal to turn
at every curve
never can end
for every stream

The zeal to write
never ends
as my hearts speaks
from within to the world

through my LAND OF DREAMS...!!!
