My Reflections Poem by Nalini Jyotsana Chaturvedi

My reflections
In the ponds
And streams
Seem to shiver
With every crickets
Scream

These black shadows
That follow me
Give no clue
Where I should be

Echoes of voice
Just as I speak
In the valleys
Resound then retreat

Traveled so far
Along in life
Still so lost
Have no respite

Lost in woods
Got caught in vines
Need a road map
I want searchlight

There should be
A way around
this wretchedness
Needs to end now
Nalini
