ANXIETIES AND DOUBTS!
In the silence of the night,
With the night growing dark and deep,
When the city lies submerged in sleep;
Secret anxieties resurfaces in our dreams!
From the motionless sleepers to the walking
somnambulists, -
From those dark caverns of the subconscious
mind,
Emerges our eternal and potent foe,
Resurfacing to plague us once more!
We levitate to rise briefly outside our mortal
shell,
While we keep breathing to remain alive down
below!
Casting doubts about our existence and our
very being,
Are we alive or is this life only some waking
dream? !

How simply yoy ask such profound question which all of us confront at some stage in our lives. your poetry is touching new dimensions Raj. it is so nourishing and makes me feel I am not the only one pondering over these anxieties and doubts.10 Mamta
