I ponder

a poem by Suhas Chavan

The warmth
of the fellowship of Man
so hoary, hazy, distant.
Like the wind swept dawn
fragile, so very brittle.
The rising desert smiting
the incoming light,
head-on!
A faceless eclipse
reborn;
Timelessness,
An undulating chasm dark.
I stand watching, mute, unknown,
the fallacy of it all
the continual blunder repeated
the dependence of man
on man,
a strident cacophony
crying out it’s misery.
Misinterpreted Symbiosis,
from birth to the very end
a crutch to lean upon.
Who am I? States the self
crumbling under the persistent yoke
of relativity,
The turmoil of a never ending quest
unanswered.
A despotic glance
A helpless glare.
I watch the night shadows
fade by gently,
flitting away;
leaving unattended to
my dilemma
of
choked passion.
Moments fall by
and I can only look back
empty-handed.
