O My Soul! Lost Are Thy Footsteps! Poem by Savita Tyagi

O My Soul! Lost Are Thy Footsteps!

Rating: 5.0


O my soul! Where is thy gentle healing touch
That caressed me.
Why do I feel so dry?
Like a dry log that has been put on life's pyre
To burn and burn....
Warm ashes, now left to become cold,
To be scattered with wind of time-
Pinch by pinch....
Lost are thy soft footsteps of love
That guided me.
Stripped of your light
Moon and stars plunge in darkness.
All went astray but a dull aching memory.
It carries on…
Receding in Chaos.....
O my soul! Will you hold on to it?

O Soul, O my soul you are the bird yeah, the unusual bird comes and goes frequently yet unseen, unknown o the unstable heart still you are in lack of knowledge still your cage of the bird in delusion the mirage, the infatuation wraps you fancifully thats why the bird still comes and goes frequently though unseen-unknown absolutely......///
