The heart that never wept,
How peacefully at night it ever slept!
No dream ever broken,
No opportunity ever taken,
O The heart that never wept,
How peacefully at night it ever slept!
No shred of esteem it ever lost,
A winner it was at all cost,
And every time it felt such joy,
O boy! O boy! O boy!
The heart that never wept,
How peacefully at night it ever slept!
And so went on the saga, eons turned to ages,
Until one storm it found itself surrounded by wreckages,
O The heart that never wept,
How peacefully at night it ever slept!
Ripped off all accolades,
All medals and trophies it ever won,
One punch received such,
It lost its Midas’ touch.
The heart that never wept,
How peacefully at night it ever slept!
O! The heart that never wept,
How peacefully at night it ever slept!
All castles in the air had fallen,
All the steel and iron had molten,
Reduced to lesser than ashes,
It only sighed in suppressed hushes,
The heart that never wept,
How peacefully at night it ever slept!
Reduced now to bones bare,
Forget clothes, not even an inch of skin to spare,
As it tried to figure it had landed where,
O goodness, what a living nightmare,
The heart that never wept,
How peacefully at night it ever slept!
Wasn’t there a time when wishing for more was a norm?
To take on the bull by its horn.
But now it was afraid of the shark, and even the snail,
Was this it, on its coffin hammered the final nail?
O The heart that never wept!
How peacefully at night it ever slept!
The waves rose deadly,
It searched around sadly,
Alas! It saw no shore,
Neither a boat, not even an ore!
O The heart that never wept,
How peacefully at night it ever slept!
The situation was tough, the weather was rough,
Sadly The heart wasn’t seasoned enough,
No direction, no mission,
‘Stay afloat!’ it had a divine vision!
O The heart that never wept,
How peacefully at night it ever slept!
Like a duck it began to paddle, not swim, just paddle,
Unloaded from itself all the baggage, all the saddle,
Deja Vu! And once again it felt such joy,
O boy! O boy! O boy!
The heart that never wept,
How peacefully at night it ever slept!
‘Paddle! Paddle!’ Let it be labelled a clown,
If it ever drown,
For it would still be victory
If it drowned of fatigue and not of a defeated jittery!
‘Paddle! Paddle!’ Now it is thankful, it faced this session,
For it taught a great lesson,
A lesson to not budge,
For it realised, it was its own judge.
O The heart that never wept,
How peacefully at night it ever slept!
‘Paddle! Paddle!’ And now it pondered,
Over the past its thoughts wildly wandered,
In this new found glory as it basked,
But one question begged to be asked,
When it was the heart that never wept,
How peacefully at night it ever slept?
