I tried to explain



I tried to explain

I tried to suggest

I tried to ask

If we can transcend these barriers

Across the mountains of beliefs

That stop the monsoon breeze so often

Carrying the seeds of rain of hope

But I could not,

How could I

There are so many bridges

One needs to cross across

The river of  mundanities

That permeates all uncertainties

I love these fuzzy horizons

Which never make it clear

If the roads ahead will lead some where

Many nights have passed since I dreamt

Aug 6

 

Many nights have passed since I dreamt

Of the emptiness that can let

Air devoid of sounds come through

The window

And stir the curtains reminding me that

No matter how hard one tries

Certain sounds will always be there

Just be there,

Like the  drops of rain on the tin roof,

They may not be loud

But then the sound of breaths

in a silent night can create

A storm
