Or A Lifetime's Not Enough Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

If early dawn fills me with joy,
The noon melting up all my buoy,
The shadows as the day unfolds
An unknown sway on my mind holds.
How many minds a man exudes?
As many as perhaps his moods,
Or as many as his thought waves,
As many a colour he craves.

Clueless, I try mind to suppress,
But it revolts with a shock rude;
Yet, if looked at as mere witness,
No attitude, it's such a dude!
A clue's enough to know the mind,
Or lifetime in vain one may wind.

The soul within might be the real ‘I'. And yet, man spends all his lifetime in trying to know its pretender, the ego; cal it mind.
