The Heart of Life

Poetry seems to be a very significant outlet of the feelings venting up inside of me. Hence, I adore writing poetry. This is one of my earliest ones.

The Heart of Life

As you patiently lay waiting,
In the sweet warmth of your thoughts,
For the silent funeral of today,
Rare is it that you should consider,
The clement season’s end.

The moon smiles down in all it’s pristine light,
The night draped in the finest blue,
If looks have a lucid language,
And the same emblazoned with seductive allure,
I daresay it all matters down to nature.

The altruistic God gifted this,
This – a beautiful offering of life,
Yet what they do thinking of the excruciating,
The remains of which is an onerous present,
And an oblivious future.

Look beyond this surreal life,
Open your eyes to the unfathomable silk,
Sewn on to the delicate fabric of life,
So you see the luster and not the disdain,
Indeed will it festoon a face with a benign smile.

Spread your wings to minds awakened,
Kindle the heat within yourself,
Find what truly holds you high,
And indeed as time heals all,
Await the abated storm of malignancy and sorrow.
