Choice Poem by Surabhi Mathur
Choice
'On the line of life
I stand at the middle
Whether horizontal or vertical...
One end is a call from fleshy world
The other is the yell by nature
One is the appeal of body
The other is the claim of soul
One allure me to the heights
The other enchants me to the depths...
Undoubtedly, the choice will be mine
But which side to elect..?
A very strenuous choice
Puzzling me the scriptures...
Started I, to look upon the traces
Synthetic path has more footprints
While the authentic witnessed a very few
Which are about to vanish...
I should follow the crowd, I thought
Yes, I should, it will give me heights
My destinations are sure here...
NO... A second thought occur
I should follow the other one
Though, full of unsurities, it is
Though, I will be alone
But, I have to, Yes, I have to
To make a new way
To meet with my origin
I have to, Yes, I have to...'

I went through your poem in a single breath, enjoyed, felt at one with you till the last few lines. I thought your heart stopped and mind started working! But why? Did you have a break during the composing of this poem? Subhas,29/3/2016
No, I didn't take any break in the composition of this poem as I never do with any poem of mine. Our thoughts during reading any work varies from reader to reader that's why I guess you feel some sort of detachment in last few lines. By the way thank u for reading and appreciating it. :)
