Wandering Breaths
Rating: ★4.7
I seem to have lost my lamp
during the night of wandering breaths.
I didn't know where I was when I woke-up,
I started arguing with the trees and the Rocks
and with myself. And then I cried!
Then in the distant mists I heard a voice telling me,
'No matter what happens, keep going..
for you are sure to find yourself someday'!
Hence here I am, searching very myself,
I once really was, never for my own behalf.

I feel your pains they sting my eyes.
In fog so thick I grope.
Eyes wide open nothing to see.
In waves the land my feet meet.
As lost in seas in confused minds.
Can we hand in hand trace our steps back?
If where we 're going we know not;
Let slowly retrace our steps rootward

I seem to have lost my lamp
during the night of wandering breaths.
The very beginning made you sit up and read further.
Yes Siddhartha, one has to deal with death and I know it is difficult.
I might have written many poems on death talking wisdom,
but it is not easy, Yet, I am sure with your brave and positive outlook
you would push on more and more. Thanks for sharing this poem.

Nice. We are always suppressing our inner self. That is where to our journey is. The journey for the awareness of self.

Life is a continuous finding of one's self. Well sensed and said.

Sombreness is engendered as one goes through the poem. This poem brongs out the despair common in people when they have lost sense of direction and meaning to their lives, which is clearly what the persona was affected by. Such portrayal makes this poem connect and relate to daily emotiona and psychological battles of humanity. Simple yet good. Well done
