I walk on a road lush with dreams,
a road of forgotten and veiled dreams,
sometimes slowly, sometimes gaily,
sometimes lost, sometimes profound,
I walk a road of unknown mysteries,
fervently finding my way through the endless path.....

Ice.

I have reached a state
when desires seem to melt away.

When the flame of reality is so powerful
all illusions seem to retreat.

When the sting of past pains is so strong
expectations seem to comatose.

Life is still - hushed by nothing, spirited by none
No passions to overrule, no desires to out rule.

The silence is so loud
neither clock ticks, nor the heart beats.

There is nothing to lose and I am winning nothing. 
For victory and defeat aren't game enough for such tranquility.

The wheel of time turns not, no breeze blows, waves seize to touch the shore.

Sorrows of past affect me not and future holds no promises for me.

No evil spirits or Angels guard me.
I have neither friends nor foes.

There are only mirrors, those endless reflecting surfaces
whose ray pave their way to one place - Me

But, this is not an end...not even a beginning...
then what exactly is it?

  1. The post reminds me of two earlier posts of mine,' Pride, False' and 'At Infinity'. The hollowness in everything and yet the path too long and uncertain to know whether to move ahead or go back...and yet you know inside that you can't stop moving. You have to move..one way or another. :-)

    There is nothing to 'loose'. shouldn't it be 'Lose' :P

  6. Very nicely penned dear, there is subtle pathos hidden in between the lines, it looks like you have personally experienced a grave situation which must have prompted you to write in this fashion "But, this is not an end...not even a beginning...then what exactly is it?" Perhaps time can only can answer.... :)
