Before That Final Leap. Poem by Om Chawla

Before That Final Leap.

Rating: 5.0


Having come this far
am so near the line
waiting to cross over.
Pensively looking back and reflecting
over what has been
or what might have been;
Suddenly the sound of your foot steps
wandering in loneliness
attracts me,
beacons me.
I wish to step back
to meet you
to see you
to feel the intensity of your emotions!
You, whom I have never seen or met;
What draws me to you I cannot tell.
Is it the image that I have created
Or is it the image your poems have transmitted;
Real or illusory
It fascinates me,
and kindles a desire
to be with you
even if for a moment
before that final leap
into oblivion, or eternity
or just ceasing to be.

Remember the old saying to look before you leap. We should take a hard look and observe beforehand what we are leaping into. Trust in God and He will direct thy path. Your writes are very special and invokes some deep thoughts. This one does just that.

May that opportunity be yours at the earliest. It needs to be asserted that each of your poems has got a unique theme to build on and the same makes you a good poet.

Faith and prayer are invisible but they make impossible things possible.It's Go's part to do wonders, our part is simple, Trust God and keep working! ! ! !
