Chimerical

A smile, a tear
A hidden fear
Unearthed
From the deepest wells
Of buried memory

A thought, a sigh
A last goodbye
Wrenched from a broken heart

A hope, a dream
Chimerical,
Unseen
That flickers
Like a dying lamp

A breeze,
A gale
A wind of change
A portal
To that other place

And end
A death
Of things forgotten
And old

The skies have assented
Its time
To start
Afresh

this was the night before i got into MIT. I was a hundred percent convinced I wouldnt make it and therefore the dejection.

Now I'm happy =)

I'm glad you like it :)
