Roam Free
This amazing mind like a flowing river
Source of countless thoughts
Lord of inner and outer world
It's currents fed by varied perceptions
Drawn through my senses,
My senses like hungry animals
Always in search of food
Their enormous appetite
Ever unsatisfied
Drives me crazy
Desires have worn me out
Like powerful waves
Cutting on sandy soil and rocks
Time washes faded impressions
Longings create ever new patterns
Worn out knees and shaky hands
Fail me miserably
This body-
Once an amazing machinery
Accomplice in all my joys
Now with parts rattling in each move
Burdened to carry the
Weight of life till last breath
Cluttered with avarice and attachment
Mysterious is heart and
Mind's demand to live
But the misery of body
Like black sludge
Covers the tranquil waters
Oh! How with trembling heart
My intellect pleads me to agglomerate
Beyond the strife of daily nuisance
To set aside this turmoil
And cleanse my heart
To break loose from old cage
To let this mind roam free
Calm and peace full in silence
Like a balloon floats and
Capers in autumn wind
Under the sunny blue sky
Of this fascinating world.
Time washes faded impressions Longings create ever new patterns Mind grows young, but body getting weaker! The more we want to extricate ourselves from longings that pin us down, the more we are entangled in wild aspirations and longings! This dilemma is so beautifully put in choicest words! You deserve a10 Savita!
