Meditating On Madness

I wish, I would be in penance
sitting on the lap of nature; 
lest I forget my-self
or the very word oblivion.

I feel the inner psyche
seeks peace within self.
As if the world is within my reach
although I'm a world within.

May I bring in the madness upon me
and forget what I'm.
To make the world know ……
Penning poesy is no less than being in penance.

When the impulse of the mind is liberal, 
and the scot free senses are splendid, 
the maverick mood basks in itself; 
I would call it -meditating on madness! .
