Search Poem by Indranil Bhaduri

I was all alone..
Walking down the streets,
Enshrouded with the veil of solitude
And searching to find my soul.

My wishes had started fluttering its wings
My hands were up towards the discoloured grey skies,
One by one I tried to hold my dreams,
But all in vain with sweet nothings.

I came to a standstill
And gazed all around.
Sitting down below the shimmering lights
I stared at the lonely streets.

And the rains came thus,
Taking me to the enlightened world.
Breaking the strong dark door
And gifting me with a vision clear.

I jumped with joy and found myself again,
The skies just turned colourful and gay,
My soul was not lost and made me feel
The colours of rainbow surrounding me..

My bruises were healed..
Passionate thoughts began to ignite
My forgotten and now found self,
Thereby plunged into the ocean of love.
And there I was, swimming in the lights,
Drenched with happiness..

I was not alone..
My soul was hugging me,
And the rays of hope thus shone..
My life had just begun!
