My quest for reason

a poem by Vasupradha Vasudevan

That’s when I heard the sound
Shimmering in the far away land
I could sense the feel of eternity,
Yet, I could feel the sense of warmth,
Well alas I had been quenched of purity,
Nevertheless it seemed, I had been given yet again,
I started my stay with crowded agony and gay, lo,
I had to do it this once, one bidding; I am bound not to say!

Then again, I tried my ride, but, it was a horrendous fall apart,
But anonymity, that it possessed, made my skull burn gray,
Puzzle, would be the urge, but it wasn’t quite the same,
When I have the authentic, my authority was to stray;
Remembering the one last time, my recluse was now sounded at bay,
Replenishing the one last reminder, the deficit was never displayed,
It had my whole on the wheel, my toes staggered by the weight,
When the sun drowned down, I couldn’t feel the ray!

I kept my touch counted, my nerve, they laughed at me
The splendor sequenced its pronunciation,
Refraining, made my senses flee,
The cover draped me hard, my protection, it stung,
I was dragged mercilessly, into the quandary of some,
The enticing agglomeration split the bones free,
Dumping into the ocean, reverberated my cells’ decree,
Losing my skin in the squirm, it was of high degree!

The hills and valleys swept by, the stature struggled the plight,
Unknowingly the cause hid, wondering to seek refuge in the flight,
Dark and light transient, flabbergasted the meekness,
Meager and surplus crossed swords, devastating the weakness,
The spinning slipped by fast, rummaging one into bits,
Revolving on one hold, couldn’t question the myths.
When the redemption bellowed loud, retracing wasn’t game,
When the resplendence grew high, renunciation wasn’t lame!

I ran to the beholder, my duty was I to say,
From the originating cave, I haven’t sworn,
The secrecy’s cruelty, I had now borne,
The haunting mystery, demented me alone?
My faith and cure, I had lost and reigned,
Take me away; I hadn’t wanted this, my own,
Not this once, you are destined to fray,
Someday, I hadn’t wanted the happening, that once, my ashes sprayed!
