In pursuit of a philosophy Radhamani sarma

 

Poem of the week: The Jailbird by Maurice Riordan

  In pursuit of a philosophy:

 Often a  persistent feeling rouses in me

 An awareness, of something new, strange,

 unusual, requires my visits, my scrutiny,

  Break from routine, from shell;

 but from sometime, it was in isolate ward,

 within the corner of my heart, soul’s room, 

  in its own ward, overcoming all temptations,

t times, yields no doubt some small tempts, harmless,

 yet, an awareness taps it, for  the soul to break

away, from the   little  show, to higher realm;

now is the time to rise skywards, 

soar higher in pursuit of  a philosophy.
