What Reply Should I Provide In Response? Poem by M. Asim Nehal

Existence has begun to present numerous inquiries,
what reply should I provide in response.

Life's vessel was gliding serenely towards the coast,
what reply should I provide for the sudden turmoil.

I relied on every word he said and uttered,
What reply should I provide for change in course.

He also appeared to be accompanying me,
What reply should I provide for his treachery.

I lived a reverie and trusted in its realization,
What reply should I provide now that I am awake.

When I reflect on the traces of the past,
What reply should I provide when time has erased them.

I wilfully accepted the task assigned to me,
What reply should I provide for its unfinished state.
