Seijaku


Broken promises churn my heart, 
like what the desert whirlwind does 
to the desolate dunes. 
I can’t calm down my twirling turbulence,
pent-up rage shatters the shield of forbearance, 
turns me into discarded debris of indignity 
within the intolerant ignominious abyss. 

The sanguine awareness then finds patience,
the candle of inner strength, 
ignited as the guiding light 
in the web of exigent intolerance,
entangling the essence of my muddled mindset.  
Amidst the commotion of turbulent life,  
the alchemic anchor of calmness 
prevents me from being swept away 
by the coercive currents of compulsion, 
enabling me to approach life challenges 
with composed and collected altered attitude. 

I discover the innate fortitude,
that braces me in the  tempest of life,  
builds the bridge that fosters discernment, 
appreciative of the deviant thought perception, 
constructing entwined resilient connections.  

The mystique mist shrouds my penultimate path 
to the time future, fading in the obscurity. 
In twilight zone the sunset swansong echoes
the tune of forlorn spent life, silhouetted still
against the tranquil skyline.
The shards of shattered hope on dejected drift, 
fly like birds with colors to the restful nest 
across the calm canvas of the setting sun,    
where the remnant rays of revival survives,   
designing the last latent lattice of dream, 
that swathes the sanguinity sphere of my listless life.

The rain-washed sparkling sky 
spreads the seamless spectrum 
of my opulent dreams yet to be dreamt, 
embroidered in the tapestry of fantasy
with the charisma of chromatic imagery, 
where the surreal strings design the splendor 
of the resplendent rainbow motif, 
arching over the halcyon horizon 
that beckons me to the concert of being. 
Fascinated, I feel the vibrato of vivacious life. 

In the stalled turbid times, 
defused in the miasma of despair,
I turn the dented emotive impulse
into the lyrical crescendo of concerto. 
On its sonorous serenading wings,  
I fly in the rhapsodic sky of sonata 
to the harmonic home of serene afflatus, 
and realize the nascent notion 
that life is a symphony.
