APPREHENSION

"this piece of poetry has a very special place in my heart, as it was composed when i was on the threshold of entering the big bad world of college. but thanks to god, things have turned out quite well for me so far....."

I grasped at the empty air,
which slipped like sand through my fingers,
or better is it gone-- that devil's snare?
the familiar scent still lingers...
So many querries with answers unknown...
only a forgotten hope..it might have been....
leaving it to time alone
to discover what it my mean?
I step on to a different stage
awaiting my act with bated breath.
a new audience,an empty page
and only an undying faith.
The future they say, is not ours to see,
let me my present fulfil
my only weapon --"ME"
and hardwork my only skill.
