Mind's A Parachute - Ii Poem by Nikunj Sharma
Mind's A Parachute - Ii
Imprisoned, confined in the harness and lines
Unknown strengths, undiscovered virtues a spread parasol
Afraid of heights that lie within, that fear of jump undone
I meet the cherished realm adrenalin pumped
No wings to claim the sky, just a canopy to sail high
Afraid to dash or crash I feel an eternal sigh
This fear of falling brings the feeling of things
getting larger. I crumbled under the tent of my own wings
This flight fights fulfillment, results never thrilled
Till the strings, were jerked with force
To open the firmament azure
Life changed in an instant, a long awaited wish
brings the promise of renewed prosperity
a flight change makes fear estranged
A swift drift and divine drag; to secure an ease into gravity
A parachute is like my mind it works when
It's kept open.
Just pull the string and feel the fun
As you lift above the noise and float on the horizon
It’s a different feeling flying so high
In gravity’s surrender, to glide in the sky.
(This is a rewrite of my earlier poem, I am grateful to Mr. R H Peat for his valuable time and guidance. I am putting it up knowing fully well that it is still not complete)
Amazing Imagery, Inspiration as overcoming our problems as well. Very well done.
A very good write at least on two accounts. First, the poem relates to human potential which is virtually unlimited. But more interestingly the poem reveals the floating joy of a liberated mind which is awesome.
Nikunj, your poem reminds me of a book on cognitive therapy and the title is 'Feel the fear and do it anyway! ' Gradually one is encouraged to open new horizons slowly at first, until like your poem 'a parachute is like my mind, it works well when it is kept open''. Throughout the poem your imagery is brilliant and the last stanza romps in the kudos you so well deserve. I love it all and whatever you have done to improve it, has worked brilliantly! 10 love Karin
Imprisoned, confined in the harness and lines This poem has such amazing metaphors yet their brilliant and weird at the same time keep it up
mind...i think is a subject we can complete on...your take on it is lovely in a parachute....10
no one can fully write about human mind, for it keeps wandering and never lets us complete... this is a beautiful poem.. can be added to one of your best list
