Scarecrow Poem by DASHARATH NAIK

SCARECROW

The indomitable spirit all fatigued
The cherished dreams capsized like paper boats
Down the turbulent streams of radiant time
Along the vast deserted lands
I venture out unseen and unheard
Photographs unclicked like likers Unresponded in the comment box of life.

Life struggles tirelessly and breathlessly though
Great demands get unfulfilled
The plagued mindset all stands like shadows
Like a scarecrow dead inside
Bereft of vivacity and vigour
I crawl in the pavement of my days
Suffocated with sufferings;
Will unconquered prevailing for nobody
But everybody seems tired and exhausted.

The mirror now sneers at me
The reflections of self bizarre
Get submerged in no time
In the silent valley of life prime.
Oblivious of everything irrelevant,
I exist finally like a choked heart
Waiting for the bliss and warmth
I have been coveting since my birth.
