Poetic Living

I am introspective
I am extrospective
I am healing my ills
I am building my will

I narrate
I assimilate
I am making sound out of ink
I am settling a drifting idea till it sinks 

I memorise
I picturise
I am hanging onto the past 
And yet embracing the future

I am reciting
I am writing
I am burning the unburnt
I am learning the unlearnt

I am not a poet yet until I get
The will
To sink
Into the future
Weaponised by what I have learnt
