Poem
It is good to be a fool once in a while, What an extraordinary feeling to be a fool! To know nothing, To know everything, Yet not convincing your heart—The most brilliant buffoon, Letting your heart float like a boat Without an anchor In the middle of a lake illuminated by the half moon that looks like a piece fallen from something ethereal, Vision yourself in that boat, dear reader, Doing nothing but just letting that moon’s love Lurk on your lips While you yearn earnestly With your eyes closed like the petals of a timid lotus, I encourage you to be a fool with me. The river of reverie might reduce the roughness of abrasive reality of existence, The vastness, The long blank whiteness of life— The 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s Of age are indeed agitating, Colorless at times, There are rainbows too, But mostly it's white, serene and quite like a pearl or a marble. Some people ensnare their hearts, They think heart is some petty prisoner, But when the boon of life comes to an end The truth hits them in the chest And the chains ensnaring the heart Come gushing down with a roar like a waterfall, Sudden and loud. Chained hearts often become hoarse hazards, Chained and always chasing, But chasing what You never know. Heart is a bird, A brave one Like all birds, But let me remind you something, dear reader, Do you ever notice the birds looking at the sky and singing soft melodies, The melodies they don't sing when they are soaring high in the sky? Birds need a bower too to rest and rejuvenate, They don't have to adorn an armour on their chiselled chest all the time, It's just not natural, It doesn't seem right, So take my hand and come be a fool with me Or just be a bird and fly freely. Your soul is nesting your heart, Let down the gloomy guard, Nurture the nest And give it a rest.
