This strange sense of unfulfilled task
Occupies my mind and spare time.
Standing behind a solid wall-
Not capable of breaking the barrier-
Not able to take next step-
I ponder over my inadequacies.
An arrogant will not aware of limited capacity
Heeds not any wise counseling
Flies high on waxed wings!
You who brought that light of life out from your dark womb
My restlessness to receive that light
Peels away the norms of satisfactory life.
Darkness encircles me
My best is never enough
Even to cast a dim light
Upon the dark corners of my heart.
O! World O! life
This search, this cry seems imbecilic
Yet this sense of unfinished business
Lingers in my broken bones.
Like a waterless Cloud with silvery skin
And grey passions, I weather the storm.
This strange sense increases day by day
Even in dreams it doesn't leave.
But a hope I cherish with each breath.
I hear the words inaudible
Inciting me every morning-
Walk on roads unmarked
Stand at the edge of broken clouds
Search for ever new patterns
Touch the faces unrecognizable.
Across each writing that seems ambiguous and ill-legible
Feel the sense implied,
Connect with its synergy
To find a way, to learn and to know what is hidden
Away from eyes.
Get rid of this diminished sense of worth
That vitiates you from living.
Be happy
Be satisfied
That you can still dream
Still walk
And still explore.....
So take the next step.......
And move into unknown.....
In the setting of evening sun
See the jagged clouds
Dazzling like diamonds.
