@@@ Floating Life @@@ Poem by Satheesan Rangorath

Floating on waves of thoughts,
mind rolls in doldrums of time.
Body rests among lotus blooms,
dancing with shades of delusion.

Life entangled with cobweb,
stretches hands wider into space.
Red eyed spider stares severely,
folding his hands up and down.

World struck in internet web cast.
wriggles as maggots in dirt n’ filth
Heart beat gets feeble and faintly,
delving deep into abysses of sleep.

Faraway in a different galaxy,
angels beckon winking.
Stars settle down slowly in night sky,
Sprinkling dreams with stardust.

At dawn when blue birds sing,
I wake up afresh as dew on a lotus petal.
On silky green round leaves,
I slide n’ roll again unaware; I am….

A ray of hope falls on this droplet,
burning it dry into folds of eternity.
Turning into vapor one day,
life returns again in another name n’ form.
