Echoes of Existence

Light was passing through the dark chambers of life

As if it were about to open the secrets

That were hidden from sight.

 

 The water was flowing like hope

The submerged stones seemed to set the tone of life

And I stood right there to see

What cost it would take to cross a seemingly ordinary life. 

                                                                

Things seem beyond control

Self, caught up in an inner cyclone

Numbers popping up everywhere

Failing to understand

What they stand for?

The beginning loses its end’s meaning

Now, which side is left to tread on?

The mind is searching for the words

To breathe. Meaning is losing its hold.

Now, what I learn is – Darkness

Is the place where you see yourself

In the light.                                                                             Smriti Thakur
