Still Water Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

Still Water



The mind is in such a state,
Where there is no fear of losing;
There are no hopes of gaining.

How and when it arrived there
Is anybody's guess!
Perhaps there was this silent progress,

Towards that plateau for some days;
Or months and years of practice
Of stilling all the feelings!

An unconscious effort
To shield the heart from stress,
And absorb everything with grace!
