Under the Deep blue sky,
I wondered why is it so high?
The acme, the pinnacle, the horizon, the hope,
Of something beyond me, making me rise
Rise as high as the bird which chirps,
I wonder what it sees, feels and if it can smile like me!
Flapping its wings, away it flies unto new territories,
Growing, moving, freely it transcends all my boundaries
Mystical is this nature,
Gave me a mind but nevertheless I wish, I had wings or just fins,
The mind that imitates and attempts to recreate, the fins by ships and wings by flights,
Yet never seems to touch the true heights!
In the game of imitation and changing perspectives,
It seems like humanity has lost its essence.....
A struggle not to be who you are, but what someone else is,
An eternal battle that will only lead to self destruction,
What is the eternal truth,
What is the real meaning of life,
What is humanity all about
Is this all what the mortals think about?
Searching for the light, that brightens up every day,
That belief that gets you through every day,
It's not about trying, or even about searching,
Is being who you are, such an unreality?
A simple truth of life, a simple belief of self,
Is the essence of my self!
Clarity is my light,
Brightens my mind,
But tell me my friend,
When on a cloudy day,
The light is nothing but a mere spot,
Confusion reins all around me,
Losing self belief,
I search and try to find what I’ve lost,
When all the while I don’t know what it is,
and stand staring at the gloomy day,
Wondering what it is that the 'I' stands for!!
That my friend is the light, the “I” is whom you've lost,
Yourself, your belief, your life,
Is yours to make and not for others to decide,
The light is within, the belief that reins all your strengths,
The weaknesses that you will clear, the success that you will steer,
The gloominess around you is just a scene then,
For you know yourself and your being is pure then,
No contradictions or inhibitions to bind you down,
A lucid perception of everything around,
No motto, no plan, no steps to follow,
A path you tread, with only your heart to follow!
Mystical nature... unfulfilled desires,
King or pauper,
Slave or master,
Optimistic or pessimistic,
These are just terms,
What makes you stand out as a person,
Is Self Belief,
So all we need to do to be is...
To be.
- For the first time, I have written a poem with someone, one of my friends, ADK, came up with this idea, our thoughts differ, our expressions differ, the product is an interesting symphony, though incongrous at points, I like the flow that is.
