The Journey - 01 Poem by Subhas Chandra Chakra

The Journey - 01

Rating: 5.0


It was a journey
Much awaited,
Much Needed,
Yet turbulent,
The journey from the womb.
My day started
With a separation-
By a razor blade
Bisecting the cord,
That joined me
With a great woman
CalledMother.

Everyone else
Was rejoicing
But I was
Shocked with the change, frightening
Stunned with the brightness, blinding
Estranged by the huge noise, disturbing
A fish out of water
As I was...
Feeling
Breathless-
Started to inhale
A vapour world,
Restless-
No bed to stead on,
Started to wave my limbs
My first walk
In the air
Withoutanydestination.

They splashed
Water on me-
I felt hot.
They rubbed me with cotton-
I felt lonely.
At last I tried
To communicate
Toexpressmyfeelings.
It was -
Only a cry.
