Take a chance.

This is an incomplete poem-like stuff vaguely written. Parts given, parts missing and parts changed to keep the continuity. I have kept the original title of the poem as the title of this post, however. You might not miss the parts that are missing because they were actually written in an unmatched way. There are no deliberate rhymes, mere flow of thoughts directed to a paper. :)
Happy reading.


I wrote this after reading the title of a certain poem. But that title has not been used in the given part.


Have you tried to tame the wild wind?
Storms that are seldom mild ?
Or rivers that flow like insane?
Have you walked on the beach
With waves splashing on your feet unrestrained?
Stretched your arms and thought of flying?

Been to core of wilderness?
Walked the path of unknown?
Taken the uncharted waters?
Or for sheer curiosity looked into
A strange domain?
Are you fascinated by the unfamiliar?

Do flowers give you joy?
Is the evanescence of dewdrops a treasure
And do the colours of a butterfly
Tell you of life?
Can you, beneath the vastness of sky
Sit in mere stillness?

Have you read a book, a page at a time?
Let time rule your world, yet
Been in your complete control?
Loved for the sake of loving
Not for your mortal heart but
For the timelessness of your soul?

Tried reading the mind of a stranger?
Seen unfamiliarity in your closest pal
And still not been bemused?
Have you seen sparks in ashes of dreams?
Can you smile through skinned knees?
And even broken hearts?

Have you seen in the drops of rain
The eternity of this world?
Life in the lifeless stones?
And in each of us, paradoxes curled?
May be I will not bewilder you then.
Me, you might have already known.

Neither is this. So save your precious words till then. :)
