Connection Poem by Jay P Narain

Sitting in an eternal yoga position,
with closed eyes and open palms,
trying hard to discover myself,
trying to connect with known unknowns.

In one instant texting someone,
in another conversing on the phone,
the laptop is open with instant chat,
the teenage mind is exploring the modern means to connect.

What is this connection,
is it the meeting of minds?
or is it the convergence of hearts, ?
or is it the acceptance of the expected?

How could I connect,
When disagreement in heart prevails,
How could I communicate,
When obstacles remain in my mind to reach and touch someone.

Connect with the brightness in someone’s eyes,
Bond with someone with the smile on the lips,
Hug with someone with gentle touch,
Reach the sublime connection with some soothing words.

Connect with such sweet words,
coming from the bottom of your heart,
the words that calm the fear of others,
and bring love and peace to yourself.
