Sometimes

When life comes to a beautiful halt.

Sometimes are the times
When the heart doesn’t know
When Life puzzles along
When at alone, one frowns
When introspection sings along
Sometimes are hardly known.

Wonders are the times sometimes
For meanings lay hidden inside
Like a moment skipping a beat
And arena of breathtaking retreat
When divinity of universal times
Layout beauty of life sublimed
Sometimes are the happenings to life inclined.

Unexpected encounters are sometimes
When thoughts stay numb
For some moments of time
When the world is “You.”
And axis of meaning is far behind
Sometimes are thoughts of the divine.

Confusing is the time sometimes
Where one hides oneself in the mask behind
The answers remain quite unknown
And steps marching ahead untold
Where a smile hides a cry
For happiness to one day happen by
Sometimes are one of a time.

Sometimes times out “Yes” or “No”
The twist lies on which side to owe
The dilemma of questions strikes out as why
And answers still not laid by
These are the times —
When sometimes occupies all the time.

Sometimes one may not know
To listen to the heart or mind
To conquer dreams, but what sets the right time
To speak heart out and feel real mine
To stand up again and not fall behind
With such a thought
One should trust oneself all the time.

Auspicious is the time sometimes
For if one self-introspects
One discovers the path of moving ahead.

Though few meanings hide in the haze of mind
Its the time one should be at ease
To discover the untold mysteries
Sometimes are the reality of dreams
.

We all have the “sometimes” moment. On encountering those times, our lives that keep running at their constant pace take an amusing halt. We sit with our “sometimes” and wonder about its telltale. It doesn’t guarantee us a comfortable space but gently paves its way to each individual’s life.

  • Ever thought about how “sometimes” gravitates to your life?
  • Have we ever listened to its silent yet pitched voice?
  • Did “sometimes” hint about its genuine authenticity?

Sometimes I wish the world was a better place to live in. Sometimes I wish life had a magic wand that rubbed the pain of others. Sometimes I feel life had all the answers to our most unusual queries. Sometimes I want the star-lit sky to answer our silent conversations while we look above the sky. Sometimes I wish people had been loving and kind.

Isn’t these moments gets us closer to an imaginative world?

Sometimes.

Thinking about these moments pause our life and makes us ponder over the thoughts again. We often find ourselves spiraling around the endless loop of thoughts to find the answers. When we overthink about thinking, the times of sometimes traverses with emotional vibrations. Either our questions find our meaning, or according to science, at times, these moments have the probability of opening the procrastination doors. This state occurs when “sometimes” are tied to complex thoughts.

Although we can manage to keep the thoughts idle consciously and achieve a blank state of mind, our thoughts still continue to operate subconsciously. Now and then, from time to time, occasionally, we sail through these delicate times. And no matter what the course, we end up with our folklores of sometimes. They tell a story that each one of us needs to identify.

On reading through these moments, our brain picks a heartful story.

The tale of “sometimes” can dance with distinguished colors — doubts, conflicts, wonders, and delightful wishes. The only thing that we ought to do is make sometimes carve the best version of ourselves. And let it not immerse us in the imaginative ashes. Make a beautiful story of your sometimes. Only in these moments, we tend to find the healthiest solutions.

Give a listening ear to “Sometimes.”
