Where am I, what am I? Radhamani sarma

 

 

pOEM BY RADHAMANI SARMA

Where am I, what  am I?

 

********

I feel weak and tired,

Despite the indomitable will,

Fight back with vigor,

My mind vague and empty ,

Drawn at times to globe around.

 

Days have fled, youth has gone,

Fresh skin has deserted ,

Color merged with dried skin,

Tedium of past, old age, taps

In all its unyielding pressure.

 

Fly above, fly high, fly  more

Into  zones  worth exploring,

While tedium and vex move

A pressure to combat further

Till all application proved futile.

 

Bird dons  apparel of freedom,

Freedom  flies with unchecked speed,

Into global realms of joy

Into realms of vast vistas,

Realm to be explored further.
