Alive!

the best thing about life is knowing that you are still alive. alive to live. laugh. love. 

alive to see a new sunrise every morning. 
alive to behold the day as it quietly yet surely glides and blends with the night. 
alive to share a cup of tea with your family. 
alive to rush to work. 
alive to meet deadlines. 
alive to take a coffee break. 
alive to slog it all day and then come home. 
alive to freshen up and watch your favourite show on tv. 
alive to ping on whatsapp. 
alive to change that boring profile picture on facebook. 
alive to respond to a friend request. 
alive to pay your bills. 
alive to crib about them. 
alive to gossip. chat. fight. 
alive to make love. and war. 
alive to look at the clouds. 
alive to get drenched. 
alive to smile at the cute baby smiling at you on the street. 
alive to call a long lost friend. 
alive to say sorry. 
alive to cry till you can cry no more. 
alive to let the tears dry. 
alive to face new truths. 
alive to be shaken. shattered. and devastated. 
alive to speak to God. ask questions. demand answers. 
alive to sit alone. silently listen. to God speak. to you in person. 
alive to make efforts to gauge his ways. 
alive to look around. and find the reason. 
for why you are still alive. in this planet called earth. 
alive to let the sand blow on your face. 
alive to let the waves kiss your feet. 
alive to dream. of new beginnings. of a better living. 
alive to sieve the good. 
alive to try and discard the useless. the harmful. the painful. 
and keep only that which is precious. like...being alive.

alive. 
a very powerful feeling. 
a tremendous experience. 
an immensely generous blessing. 
an honest prayer answered. 
a great space to stretch your arms.

alive. 
a fleeting state. 
tiptoeing through days and nights. weeks months years.

alive. 
a boon. a hope. a chance. 
to live. the life you want.

I am alive. 
to write this at this hour. 
once again I didn't take the pen today. 
the pen took me. to share this with you. 

this...keeps me alive!
