! ! ! ! ! In The Deep Recesses Of My Heart! ! ! ! !

Rating: 5.0


I have built a temple
In the deep recesses of my heart,
To which I withdraw
When I don’t want to take part,

In the cacophony around me.
I feel terribly distraught;
Nation is full of angst and fear,
Thrown out of balance, peace is sought.

It’s a place of utter bliss,
Where I feel pure joy.
Ever since, I learnt to do this
My spirits remain buoyed.

The sanctum sanctorum within,
Helps me remain poised.
Connect with myself and Him,
Handle life with great sangfroid.

It’s the only way I know,
To touch joy several times.
Live mindfully and feel alive,
Not get swept by high tides.

I fully agree with you, mamta. High tides and low tides in life are diversions. The true joy indeed is in the deep recesses of ones heart!
