Paper Poetry Prompt#5
Labyrinth of Longing
Merging in the transcendent white light
I close my eyes in search of the white light,
but am aghast at what’s in sight,
‘m lost in the labyrinth ..
..of the tangled thoughts, the entropy of emotions
.. the unfulfilled dreams.
I breathe in deep to tranquil the tempest,
but appalled at the jargon of the mocking jest,
by the crushed conquest ..
.. of the paths taken, the paths not taken
..the desolate desires.
I sit in silence , away from the worldly chaos
but deafened by the roar raging in my cosmos
..of the battle not won,
..of the love now done.
What else am I, but a spider , spinning its own web,
getting tangled in the same.
Yet, I sit in silence, close my eyes and breathe deep
.. in pursuit of a free mind
from the worldly grind
I pursue, pursue and pursue
Like an ant who never gives up climbing,
despite manifold falling.
I pursue, pursue and pursue
and now take a Vow of Silence, the inner silence,
to quieten the mind, for the soul to speak
I pursue , pursue and pursue
to leave the labyrinth of longing behind
to merge in the white light, one day I’ll find
and free my mind.
Thank you Suntonu Bhadra for providing the platform and Melissa Bee for the prompt.
