Sezel Lalwani

You are like water
molding yourself into
whatever you are poured into,
you fill in perfectly and flawlessly
as though you were made for it.
But like water,
which is magical and pure and ever flowing,
you move ahead carrying all that you have encountered.
You charm your whole world by your magic;
and those who aren't still apart of your world,
also feel your power and feel enchanted.
And like water, that has its own properties,
you have your own qualities.
You fit in completely everywhere;
And yet you have a mind of your own
determined and bound to your
stream of thought,
you are yours alone.
You are an inspiration to many,
to many a friend indeed,
to others you are a power house of energy-
ever ready, ever excited, ever fresh and new
like dew drops at dawn.
Sometimes your innocence creates and illusion;
makes you seem weak and gullible,
and often misunderstood.
But your wisdom is the answer to the quest of life...
You know the secret, yes you know the secret
to a happy life.
Where others are stuck in a never ending struggle
to simplify the chaos of life,
you know how to keep it simplified,
because you don't find it a complication in the first place;
but a design where there are
colours at every step,
every atom is a new experience,
every experience a new struggle,
every struggle the path to new knowledge,
and step by step you walk on the path,
go on conquering.
And today you have mastered the art itself,
like many great people before our time,
and many others from the present.
But there is a difference.
In the past men conquered lands,
big and small alike.
In the present men are trying to conquer success
and reach its zenith.
But you, you conquer hearts
and minds of all around you,
and success and wealth simply become yours,
and follow you around.
Not that you don't deserve it, or
that they come to you by chance.
You earn it, every minutest bit.
But you know something...
With every word I write for you
I want to write more,
But my vocabulary limits me.
Language strangely is confining,
it allows you to express yourself,
but at the same time
it defines your ability to do so.
