Solitude

a poem by Shivshankar A

Looking afar the deep blues,
The horizon blends with eternity.
My life, an enduring journey,
Shall someday see the sunbeam.

Defying the wild tides,
Braving the callous storms,
I pray to the winds,
That’ll take my sail away.

I clasp on to fragile hopes,
For they remain my comrades.
The unfaithful winds transpire,
Into, a ghostly confinement.

Shattering my dreams,
Crushing my insights.
These crumbles shall transform
In to an etched magnanimum.

I shall mock at the tempest winds,
Scoff at the wet gales.
My departed soul, a holy essence
Shall now remain a frozen core.

I tell the angels,
My trek’s long from over.
