i am happy that it turned out a happy one. Finally, i wrote today. The image drew me to the words.


A drifting Leaf

you are a nice one
A drifting leaf
is how you prefer to
see yourself today

i wonder why
this image.

Efforts tire me out easily
these days
even speaking
or may be hearling
but i could move
and i prefer looking
any day

There is a sadness in me
so deep that i feel
it flowing in my veins
And yet i am afloat
and dancing a slow dance
like a drfiting leaf.

This sadness is of my own making.
no one gave it to me.
its not one of wisdom but of rage
that stays inside me
i dont know how it came here
but its here, seated and all
and very comfortable
within me

i know its there
and i dont do anything to solve it
i see it in the eye
and feel it in my flesh
and i let it be
closing my eyes
plugging my ears

it gnaws at me.
and i let it be.

Thats why i am broken, may be.
But i am still on a journey
even if adrift
but wholly with myself
embracing within
all of you
and
all of me.
