An Odyssey Of A Soul! Poem by Ashika Murali Acharya
An Odyssey Of A Soul!
I walked in dim light,
In an endless tunnel,
In a meaningless time
Heart packed in grief,
Or that unknown fear.
I just feel frail and weak,
And oh! these pains,
Keeps me awake in my sleep.
Striving for a breath,
In the pitch of dark air.
In each of my pace,
I seek for a palm,
That is never felt before,
A palm so strong,
Yet so soft, so warm.
To stilt me out,
From the inky dungeon,
In the gorge of my heart
I walked past the time,
With darts of the thoughts.
A light so bright,
I saw for a moment,
Fluttered and flickered again,
As to show me a path,
Steering away my fright,
I walked towards it,
The light that went,
Blinking on and off,
Just for me! I thought.
But alas! If only true.
I kept moving forward
I saw it move off drearily,
I stepped up my pace,
To hold that glimpse
Of that blinking light.
Slowly that too faded away.
I now kept floating in the dark
In the endless tunnel
In the meaningless time
Searching that light,
I might never find any day,
Searching the palm,
So soft and so strong,
Which hallucined me,
To this journey unknown,
Can this battle be won,
Let the grief not stay in hand,
Free me from the bonds and wounds
Hold me firm and show me a way,
Until my eyes would no longer see
The mysticharrowing worlds strife.
Endless tunnel! ! Facing the muse of life. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

I thought I knew where this poem was heasing- - and then it veered and followed your own purpose and I was left sinking into that too well-described morass of darkness and hopelessness that was robbing me of that fragile glimpse of light.... Well done! ! ! You are not to be predicted- you will take your reader into the scene you are describing- and we will walk your walk. 10++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Nice philosophical musings about life, death and afterlife. At some places the words have jumbled up. You may please rectify. Thanks.
Walking in endless tunnel in dim light is definitely amazing and experience gained helps a lot in gaining wisdom more. Holding blinking up light in mind and soul is wise ever. Darkness cannot be an obstacle for life's journey as we search light and mercy of God shows us path. An excellent thoughtful poem is well penned...10
