Breaks Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

Breaks

Rating: 5.0


Sometimes the song dies in me
Days weigh heavy on my spine
The heart sighs for no reason
The colour drains from my vision

I feel like lying all day long
Under a blanket in cocoon form
Away from all bright lights
Away from all familiar sounds

My body and soul in need of rest
Lie silent till refreshed
Then slowly the cocoon I break
And emerge bright as a butterfly

My body and soul in need of rest/Lie silent till refreshed.....Many times a poet feels helpless to find words to pen. This happens to every poet! Your break carries pragmatic expression....so real! Loved reading this beautiful indigenous poem! (10)
