Sheathed with doubts and distraught with conflicts
Timidity of my existence
Bred enormous anxieties
Never looked beyond me. still could not get ME
Rapt with riding on the waves ,
always missed the feathery touch of gentle breeze
Busy uncovering others, forgot my own layers
Captivated by the games they play
Overlooked my own pretence and display
knowledge, , lectures, analysis of all
yes , i admit, do enthrall
yet, fail miserably ...
to calm the agitated mind
to pierce the stony heart
to quench the thirsty soul
to be the lamp-post of
man's eternal quest
ifs and buts ...keep us in the rut
Caught in the web of compulsions
Drained by the questions
Worn-out from the struggle
Weary of the realities of survival
Occupied the self with niceties
life became hectic and eventful
Robots are productive and useful !!
And then ...you made your way in
without any door or window open
without any stifling sermon
just with tender eyes
and blistering devotion
Enveloped in the Cocoon of your grace
...Today ....I...dare to Dream again.....
Fuelled by your love....
.Today ...I ...dare to Live again....Come what may!!.
a journey within that critically analyses so many undergoing thoughtprocesses...

I have read this post several times, I am confident that it touches to me at the core of my heart, but I don't know what to say / write as a comment.
ReplyDeleteSunita has expressed my feelings far more in a better way.
When I read this post, a silence overpowers me, sinks deep into me, and I just look amazed at the beauty of the truth said in these words.
The silence is more powerful than the intellect, or even the emotions, that stay for a brief moment and are replaced by other things, thoughts, ...
But I know this silence is not going to leave me, for it is eternal,
Thanks Manjula,...
Manjula,
ReplyDeleteOnly a heart can say such a thing, the mine would keep going round in circles. If you let your heart dictate to your brain, you will word an excellent poem, and if the brain dictates the heart, you will write an essay........never a spontaneous poem from the depth of the heart.
