What Separates Us! Poem by Avinash Nair

What separates us more
Than the reasons and distance
That we have found and gave,
Is the silence that we chose.
As the quite breath fell and rose,
Silent glances spread in the darkness,
Still smiles shadow the quivering lips,
As they speak in the granted quietness.
We chose silence over words.
As words have stopped making sense,
In the chaos that we live.


What separates us more
Is the blindness that we chose.
Over the harshness of life,
As we know, light has nothing to offer
But darkness holds the essence
That we could live for.
What separates us more
Is the fear of the life,
The need to live a life
Within the boundaries of our mind.
But then boundaries are for mind
And body, we have transcended both,
Souls know of no limits.
What we cannot achieve in physical
Is already ours in the realm of metaphysical.
