Ethos

The horizon seemed so vast,
I stood there amidst the flying dreams,
The floating thoughts,
The plaintive music,
And the retrograding memories,
I wanted to run, I wanted to fly
I wanted to go back,
I wanted to dive deep inside the conundrum
Excavating any happy memory
And making any flying dream mine,
The seemed so elusive
They evaded away from me,
Leaving me empty once again,
I closed my eyes and I saw and I felt and I heard,
Darkness, Numbness and Silence…
I realized…they all went past.
An outburst swelled up,
It wanted to effuse out.
I suppressed it for the time being,
What route is it going to take?
Eyes, throat, hands or legs?
Obfuscated, they poured out through all…
I felt blood flooding in my eyes,
I found my ears ordering my larynx to stop
Pain engulfed my hands and legs
And suddenly I felt warmth…
An ether of love all around,
The blood inside me lulled after the bedlam…
I rested my head on the softness of human skin
The dreams came back and I didn’t realize,
Which one traveled inside me,
The tune grew soothing,
The memories didn’t come back
The horizon…it narrowed and stood at a point
My heart yielded and started flowing
The mind joined in and found happiness around
It looked back and found love smiling
And warmth…it stood at distance with an assuring look.
