Unfinished Task Poem by Savita Tyagi
Unfinished Task
This strange sense of unfulfilled task
Like some thing needs to be accomplished
Occupies my mind and spare time.
Standing behind a solid wall-
Not capable of breaking the barrier-
Not able to take next step-
I ponder over my inadequacies.
An arrogant will not aware of limited capacity
Heeds not any wise counseling
Flies high on waxed wings!
You who brought that light of life out from your dark womb
My restlessness to receive that light
Peels away the norms of satisfactory life.
Darkness encircles me
My best is never enough
Even to cast a dim light
Upon the dark corners of my heart.
O! World O! life
This search, this cry seems imbecilic
Yet this sense of unfinished business
Lingers in my broken bones.
Like a waterless Cloud with silvery skin
And grey passions, I weather the storm.
This strange sense increases day by day
Even in dreams it doesn't leave.
But a hope I cherish with each breath.
I hear the words inaudible
Inciting me every morning-
Walk on roads unmarked
Stand at the edge of broken clouds
Search for ever new patterns
Touch the faces unrecognizable.
Across each writing that seems ambiguous and ill-legible
Feel the sense implied,
Connect with its synergy
To find a way, to learn and to know what is hidden
Away from eyes.
Get rid of this diminished sense of worth
That vitiates you from living.
Be happy
Be satisfied
That you can still dream
Still walk
And still explore.....
So take the next step.......
And move into unknown.....
In the setting of evening sun
See the jagged clouds
Dazzling like diamonds.

This sense of 'incompleteness' is there in most of us! But it is better than a false sense complacency.....! The urge to improve more is an incentive to strive and win. But if the thought of unfulfilled task grows to the extent of nagging one, it has to be checked. Only by connecting oneself to the Higher Being, one can overcome this sense of inadequacy! A beautiful write of deep introspection! This is one of your best writings, Savita! (10)
greatly penned- Darkness encircles me My best is never enough excellent
Thais is a beautiful poem on reflections reflects clearly. Beautiful poem having touching and moving expression based on metaphor. I quote..... Like a waterless Cloud with silvery skin And grey passions, I weather the storm. This strange sense increases day by day Even in dreams it doesn't leave. Thanks for sharing.10

unfinished task reflects much in heart and mind, for it sweats the brain again sometimes heart quick beats, ...... still unfinished task being shadow comes behind, sits and lies beside, ..... well done, thanks for sharing the poem with us here in poemhunter
