When she awoke was completely in the dark
Without any clue of light and spark
She didn’t know what was that place
And she didn’t know what she was
Could be a desert or could be a room
Loveliness , suffocating and gloom
All she could hear ,her own breath
But she did not know life or death
She was certain of that she is !
Though rest of everything was a mist
Wondering in awe and uncertainty
Maybe that’s it ,till eternity
She waited with urge to see
What she was and what could be
Then with the help of hurts and lack
Time created in the wall some cracks
Her first introduction to the light
She realized that she had a sight !
Nurtured by her curiosity to know
Her realization irresistibly grow
It took ages but she broke all walls
First everything looked pretty overall
Despite of the ups and downs
Worth wearing was life ‘s crown
This feeling gave her sense of liberation
Her tools were compassion and imagination
She thought she was good as nurse
So why life will give her any curse
She didn’t know that life is game like test
She challenges no matter how best
Every moment and every day
For what you get you have to pay
To save herself from any harm
She thought place of high and calm
She created her nest so high
So she can avoid the sorrow near by
But she forgot when see from top
Whole reality is in your grasp!
Peacefully sipping a cup of tea
Seems impossible when you see
People below are in so much pain
This makes peace of one’s soul drain !
It’s not only world outside
Same thing true world inside
Have you pondered on your thoughts as whole?
Pulling us in numerous black holes
Falling in can be risky or fun
If you have a “ self control “ none
Once she got this game as whole
Rest was spent in how to “ hold”
But it wasn’t just black hole’s pull
Everything around appeared like insane bull
A comment, a gesture, a smile or look
Can push her in a darkened brook
It could be fixed with meditation
Confronted with next examination
She could sense another intrude
This time it was her own “food “
Though she was tired of constant struggle
Thought it might be last to tackle
She kept check on what she eat
This made her feel good at least
All she did for one true feeling
Which seemed only thing as Healing!
In this world of full of choices
She chose “Faith “ to rejoice!
Faith in someone so Supreme
Who created everything from his Gleam
She doesn’t not understand His ways
All she knows Above He stays
This liberates her from the dope
She can believe in “try” Pry “ and Hope!

And all good endings come from hope dear Amalia π
DeleteThis is a really beautiful and thoughtful poem. I love how you took me on a journey from that initial confusion to a place of understanding. The part about building a nest high up to avoid sorrow but then realizing you can't have peace when others are in pain is so powerful and relatable. The conclusion about finding "Faith" is a really wonderful and hopeful way to end the journey. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you dear Melody for such a lovely and thoughtful words π₯°π
ReplyDeleteI named this instant poem “ A Journey To No Where “ only because no matter how hard we try to achieve peace of mind life still is a troubled game full of obstacles. We all go through it’s rough times and paths time to time and sometimes when we are one smooth phase pain of others keeps us feel miserable anyway π
When look around for the solution,there seems none except having faith in One who is Creator of all this and keep trying to avoid adding your own mess to the world simply π₯Ή
Um poema intenso, como uma visΓ£o, onde toda a realidade ficou ao seu alcance. Gostei.
ReplyDeleteUma boa semana.
Um beijo.
