In Searching Of Self! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

I am searching for self in this vast of ocean of self.
I am a lone sailor in this small boat.
Huge tide came and hit my boat
It turn me upside down.
And I lost myself in this vast ocean of self.
I ran here and there aimlessly,
In searching of self!

My cry was heard by the log of tree dead floating,
I had a grip on it,
Went floating into unknown direction,
Just went along with the flow of wind.
From far I could see an island,
And I got struck there.
No one in island.
But I made myself comfortable with the choice I had.
Will wait till my boat arrives.
If it doesn't arrives,
I will think this is the place where I am destined to.
I ran here and there aimlessly,
In searching of self!

News of my dead boat may have reached all.
Let them think me dead.
No choice for me.
I will drink tears may be of happiness or sadness.
But will never make one drink it.
I ran here and there aimlessly,
In searching of self!

Am searching for self in this vast ocean of self.
I couldn't find myself.
Am lost forever.
But...

After many days wandering here and there.
I found a ray of happiness coming towards me.
I hope this time my happiness remain with me for a longer.
My poems are my love.
I cannot live without it.
I love it a lot.
Yes, I love it.
At last.....
I found myself in it!
Yes, I live in you.
You live in me...
You are nothing but Poems!
