A Deep Seated Thought... Poem by Jaya Das

Sometimes, a deep seated thought,
Paves it's way, lingering inside my heart
Shouting aloud in silence, it yearns
To escape from the net, I am entrapped in
Knitted by the threads of love, despair and attachment
And set out on an endless journey, walking till the end of earth
Adoring the beauty of nature and it's bounties
And rest in her lap, diving into a sleep, too deep..
In order to lost my being in it.
And, yeah! While passing by on my way
I am not gonna ask the trees, why they are so tall?
I would just sit under their balmy shade,
Enjoying the serene bower in my weariness
I am not gonna ask those birds,
Perching on the branches of trees, How do they sing?
I would just listen to their melodious notes
And let my heart get elated through it
I am not gonna question the river, how do you flow?
I would just stand at it's bank and
See it flowing, realising the pace of my life passing by
I don't want to discover myself, all I want is to
Get lost in every small element of nature.......
This deep seated thought of mine
keeps on pounding my heart again and again
But, when I open my eyes,
I find the frame of net, a complex one!
And untangling the knots, a difficult task,
Restraining my unfulfilled growing desire
I resolve to move ahead....
Hoping one day, what I crave for I would surely get.
