The Unknown World

There is a world

Where I use to live

Once upon a time

When all things seemed all mine

Beautiful thoughts were permanent

And life to heart’s content

But now I dwell

In a mask of the universe unknown

The shadows of dark overlay

There are no rains and storms

The winds just groan and thunder speaks rude

The apathy is spread all around

The smiles lie dormant

Piles of worry lying around in every corner

The web of sadness seems to be growing each day

All the flowers in the garden have withered away

Snow is as good as dust just resting by the window

And sunshine hasn’t visited since long

The mirror of my eyes reflect nothing but colorless tears

My heart has forgotten to be like itself

Agony soaks my soul

No friends no foes

No faces to remember

Just a me

A me all around

Dreams have forgotten to whisper

And unhappy stories I read aloud

Those  cheerless poems

I sit by the slate grey stone

Beneath a leafless tree

Just looking away to nowhere

Footprints of hope slowly disappear

I see my fear groom and come say ‘hello’

I want to run

But the feet don’t wake up

I want to talk

But the river of words has dried up

I want to call the angels

But I am too scared

God I wonder..is doing what now

I don’t want him to come and rescue me

For the world outside needs him much more than I

His mercies, his generosity must first dawn upon them

I’ll wait for this huge tide to turn and ebb

I’ll wait for thorns to show me the way to the rose

A one that can grow anywhere

Blossom and glow

I’ll wait for time to complete my story.
