Endless Pursuit Poem by Praveen Kumar in Celestial Glow

The Sun has gone down in horizon
And night thickens amidst dusk;
Settles dust and fades red glow
To brooding pain in departing light.

In cool of night I freeze to stillness,
Void pervades my soul and heart;
Wherever I look, dark and bleak,
Wherever I turn, still and cold.

Layers of darksome seize my soul
Like snake's skin surfaces in sequence
And I stare across the endless void
To discover that light that lost forever.

I know that light that, hidden somewhere,
Bides time to light bright glow for me;
Everything is everywhere all the times,
But in void present, how to sail ahead?

No road to navigate, no light to light,
No warmth within for heart to beat;
I lie on cold slab like frozen corpse
Awaiting a dawn how far none know.

Here midnight, but to her bright light
That she seeks to imbibe to her brim
From the dark world she wrought for her;
But, alas, day and night meet not in real.

Life is a pursuit, not a fulfillment ever,
And thirst unquenched for - beyond reach;
Pursuits do cease while fulfillment is found
In the endless bliss of the immortal world.
