Within me
I see to the extent my eyes can see,
I hear from the distance my ears can hear,
I feel to the extent my inner me can feel,
I understand to the depth my knowledge can understand.
Each of these gets added day by day,
in every experience.
Reason to rejoice to live my life!
Yet, there’s an ever restless me,
Avoiding to be peaceful.
Fighting for peace.
Seeking peace.
Thus, torn into pieces.
Persevering to be happy,
Ended up infesting pests within.
I imagine…
Add more visuals to what has happened.
I lend an ear…
to what was not yet spoken.
I feel…
The fear arrested in my chest,
Tearing me apart yet entangling me further.
Imprisoned by my own senses.
Withdrawn within.
I cry to let go.
Yet, cling on to it.
Always a lack about me,
A feel of lassitude,
Yet as busy as a bee,
Buzzing around.
Want to travel to a far off world,
Being at the place where I stand.
Want to listen to sounds afar,
Being At the place where I stand.
Want to feel me rooted within,
Exactly where I am.
Want to understand,
the abyss — the abode of Silence!
