That silent night......

I wrote this one in those many sleepless nights during 8th sem BE. Sitting in my study table looking at the dark silent night, some people in deep sleep.... some awake and shouting unheard, in their sleep... its all so silent and yet so mysterious. Here comes a twist, people doing BE(sometimes me too) worry about the next days exam... what a thing to do at that time... silly huh... but its true.
So here it goes...

In the middle of the silent night, I woke up on my bed,
with a thousand thoughts racing thru my head,
from cricket to kirks equation all were there,
with a phantom of chaos giving me a stare.

lazily decided to take a stroll on my roof,
dragged my feet like a drunken goof,
the harmony and silence of the night made me smile,
the moon above beckoned me to sit for a while.

I sat there gazing at the resplendent moon,
Thinking, what should I ask if he grants me boon?
just then my thought process was interrupted by the cacophony of barking dogs,
I tried to isolate my mind from the clutches of the horrid lot.

Suddenly I had a strange tingling sensation in my body,
something in my mind started getting clear,
the excitement and tension I could not bear,
then it occurred to me like a ringing bell in my ear,
"today Iv got Signal n Systems..... oh dear!!"

INERTIA....

Out of frustration came these words
of shame and pain,
like a spear of fire it stung me,
again and again.
for when I saw the things I had done
I was left with none.

Had a 1000 things to do in my list,
ended up doing only so much,
which could be counted or held in my fist.
for all the things lined up in my list,
vanished like mist.

I wondered - why am I stopping myself from DOING things?
or am I afraid of doing them a little too well.
for all I could see is empty spaces of time,
which I had strenuously filled with nothing.

I could feel the inertia within me
of not doing things all this while,
which was devouring away from me,
all those precious moments of time.

Finally I decided with all my heart,
TO DO THE THINGS, THAT HAD TO BE DONE,
because only after DOING them, they are DONE,
Took it slow, made it a habit,
Inertia decreased, sooner I realised, I have changed a bit.
