A Brief Mourning

Wrote this after coming back from a lovely vacation almost a year back. My first and so far the last attempt ..





I lived but only for a few moments
And I returned to eons of death..

My soul rejoiced in the company of my solitude
And I came back to the loneliness of the flock..

I discovered freedom
And I spurned it for bondage..

I looked beauty in the eye
And I walked away to the hideous..

I paused briefly to come alive
And then I continued to exist.....


(my first foray into what verges suspiciously around the field of the poetic..my apologies to the limited readership , may God bless them, for inflicting this on their tasteful psyche. I will only remind them that God sends such things only to try us.....hence, suffering is a noble experince)
