Poem Title:
Poem
As I sat the serene waves were evocative of those pleasant days, The setting sun made the myriad memories come alive, The waves to and forth: encircling my legs like meanders asking questions in this vast sea of life, Embarrassed I had so long prevaricated about the meanders of life; “Doesn’t life seem megalomaniac or is it worth living”? Suddenly a scorpion bit me as if to say “Never” question the Divine. Blood started oozing out: Red the color of peril, I accepted the whole episode with alacrity; A virtuous spell began to be evoked, I lifted my feet and laughed as if to provoke ‘the Divine’, In a moment all hopes and inspirations were reduced to fabulists, My other feet drenched in water waiting to be free seemed like a hassock of everyday nitty gritties, A smile adorned my face and I said, “Never stop smiling even in the darkest of dark”. The pain in my feet was making me bellow my heart out; A tear trickled and it too fell in the vast megalomaniac sea of life, I walked back looking at my footprints in the sand that were jeered by the seashells, They said “Atleast we are not selfish like you!” That led me to another question-“Why does everybody unleash a cannonade criticism against his or her rivals?” A soft wind blew to say –“Because they are not free”, Then I realized how meek I was:”Never” had caught me which is the clutches of society!! I prayed kill that “Never” kill that “Never”!!!: let everyone be free, A sense of exhilaration was induced in me, The interregnum between by answers had all these years been filled with that ‘Never’, All that remained of my life’s wisdom was stubble: a stubble of ‘Never’, Why are we taught to say ‘Never’; I pray to ever (freedom) to come and remove this ‘never’.
