Surrender Poem by RAJ VIKRAM

Hurdles that spring
suddenly with a predatory
ruthlessness can ruin
a ruminating being and
condemn him to grinding halt.

Surmounting them requires
surmising the reasons for
their origin and knowing that
being caught in its web will
make existence perfunctory.

Knowing that there is no
grinding halt in this existence
which forever surge ahead
with irreducible momentum
is the only realization worth having.

Eternity should never be
seen through the prism of
transience and feel fettered.
Discover that feeling
which kindle the fire of immortality.

That one feeling which lies
in the recesses of mind.
Hold on to it with fidelity
of the unearthly kind.
Surrender to that feeling
wholly and with fervent devotion

Feeling that levitates one from
the stagnant moment
to timeless dimensions
of unexplainable ectasy.
That feeling of intense subjectivity.

Falling prey to the moments
which maim the being
temporarily is the only
mistake a being can commit
See through this moment.

There is light seeping through
every plastered moments
of darkness that permeates
the being with a vice like grip
and the onus is on one to see it.

Surrender to the moment
be spurred by that feeling
to get that feeling of
permenance and enduring
stability which will make the
hurdles redundant.
