Footprints In Dark

Diplomacy of inconstancy
unmeets the urgency. Aura
of brilliance was falling in your feet.

After the death, it was not a name,
only a frozen body.We moved backward
swiftly, to find out the footprints in dark.

Winter was becoming harsh and
less meaningful. A weak muscle brokers
a peace for dewdrops on rose petals.

I become an earlier story, failed.
Pick up the moon rocks
and start throwing them at sun.

Okay, this is what I see in you....that you have seen a lot of horror...and it creates the death of peace....and a darkness inside. You want to go backwards to find out what went wrong, but you fail as the sun comes up to blind you to the footprints in the dark. This is so beautiful, Satish. Best wishes, Sara
