Camphored Away Poem by Nalini Jyotsana Chaturvedi

Camphored away
My ephemeral existence
And physical presence
From your world
Of ignorant pretence

Archipelago of
Human race
Far left behind.
As a lone island
Drifting away
I Leave no trace

Strong ocean currents
Not to be blamed
It's the draft of wind
That helped me
With this exit
The daily grind
So happy
to get rid

No more humans
To venture my way
Wilderness of nature
And migratory birds
Will come here to stay

Lost and forgotten
Like a bad dream
Your memory
to be washed off
With the rushing streams.
