Hope Poem by RAJ VIKRAM

Devour the dour moments
whittle down disappointments
Pair up with this moment
the moment that matters,
paring down tenuousness.

Be open when unhappiness
is bequeathed upon you as if
it was kept gift wrapped
exclusively for you.
Fizz up spirits not fizzle down.

Appear when called for that,
to face the music
take the blows on the chin
with stoic indifference.
Then pick up and move on.

Devious are the designs
of course but whom to complain
as the designer is invisible
and inviolably precise.
But destined to doom none is.

Endeavor to find the space
however non descript
or far flung it is from the senses
Beyond the senses
beyond the intelligible.

There is that space of peace,
press ahead holding on
the tugs of seemingly invisible
but fleetingly present hope.
Don't check though it's chequered.

The zone may seem far
But the incentive is peace,
not piecemeal but sustained
disappear into it once and for all.
without leaving any imprints.

Disappearance is beyond death
a coitus with the unbound being
Beyond descriptions and judgments
Know your zone, know the place
and vanish with satiation
