Unfinished Task

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.
