A Voracious Search

A voracious search


Yesterday I met him he was alive like me
Assured to pay dues of life building confidence
Knowing though the cycle of life
Uncertain about when and why
Death bell can come to knock alarmingly why while!

I let him go seeing his back, head, waist and feet
Assurance stood yes, yes he is walking 
Wait, why not for a while!
Evening passed night prevailed singing 
Previous melodies of days shadowed in mind

Rung of the bell hit the pace of heart why early
Morning crow gestured sure today will find fine
A class of life moved for the meal of the day
Milkman shouted for empty pot to fill for newly born

Sketching multiple dimensions 
I lifted the pot for oven
Shy show of nature was crawling as if lame
Remembering yesterday I met him he was alive like me
A fear of catastrophe groomed in mind being volatile

Time elapsed not waiting me and my solaces
Never, he came to see me to pay dues of life 
Later burning heart determined where about his stay
May be my search will be ditched in the pool of survey.
