like the flowing river

be like the flowing river.
silent in the night.
be not afraid of the dark.
if there are stars in the sky,
reflect them back.
if there are clouds in the sky,
remember, clouds, like the river, are water.
so, gladly reflect them too,
in your own tranquil depths.

where is truth?

people told you bad things about me
and you ran away from me
they all are lies
lies that will remain unrectified
the truth burns deep in my heart
without giving me a chance
to tell you everything
with you running away from me
my soul won't be exhumed
