Feeling Normal Poem by Savita Tyagi

A heart ache surfaced upon from a sleepy memory
And a warm tear shed in silence wetted my cheeks.

In darkness life stirred and I felt wide awake
But the rough remembrance didn't last long.

Like a wave it receded after drenching the shore
To my surprise its after effect brought a strange joy.

The emotional sensation was poignant in dead of night
As of a dry earth with rain shower that comes alive.

I absorbed and felt the soft touch of an emotion
It caressed and left like a passing breeze.

I am alive not because I breathe but because I feel.

Living life with an empty desolate mind is
Like a brain dead patient moving upon wheel.

World is charming when we are healthy enough
To feel in heart the effect of its joy and pain.

It took a little memory to jolt me back
From a physical and mental stupor.

Life is beautiful with all its bumps and bruises
Lose not a moment to recognize this paradise.
