Season Ii Of My Life Poem by Nalini Jyotsana Chaturvedi

Please show me the way
light up my path
no more I want to stray

No idioms and proverbs
or riddles that unnerve
Just plain and simple plots
no more life's painful retorts

I stand lost, alone and repent
my mouth full of dry sand
No more running after
mirages grand
give me
just a green piece of land
friendly oasis to befriend

Long days, hard winters
nightmares
of me being torn asunder
these are things I fear the most
so to happiness, I raise a toast

Lively thoughts,
bounce in my steps
Song on my lips
time up
for penance.
