Our Soul's Wish

It’s a copious flow,
Like a ceaseless waterfall,
Like the expanse of the sky,
Like an infiltration into the soil on a rainy day.

They can't all come to the fore,
They can't all walk through dawn's door,
Journey on its path,
Bask in its pervading light.

Some are uninvited guests,
They gatecrash into my chamber,
They beat vehemently on my walls,
They are turbulent waves.

They are a part of us,
A mirror of someone no one sees,
A stranger cloaked in our beings,
Our everyday assailants.
