Play In Water
In the pipe of thoughts,
Something was left blocked,
It could not occur,
Long till the time clocked,
They shook and shoved,
What was stuck was thus,
Not budging it refused to behove,
It was as if motors had jammed,
And gears rankled,
It was a bundle of stray thoughts,
That were clamouring for link,
It was indeed a battle well fought,
Some sound came after a lot of exertion,
One of them had moved,
And in some shape it got proved,
Now another moved and laughed,
As if mocking the effort,
Belittling the poor bloke,
That was attempting the sort,
Let me help out by a fraction of an inch,
Perhaps that would suffice,
And get foundation edifice,
It beckoned its mates,
Though they were pretty late,
The thoughts moved by chemicals,
That they ate and consumed,
And moved with grudging concurrence,
To their preslated place,
As soon as the link clicked,
A blinding light too blinked,
The 'idea'was formed,
And flowed like water,
As if freed from dam,
It was the first real play in water,
Very painful though it was,
It did not at all matter.
