Lithograph – A Poem

34 Comments

And lost in my own world,
searching for peace,
I became a wanderer,
never stayed anywhere for long,
a delirious mind chased me around
without giving any respite
and more I ran away
more strongly it came back to haunt,
and in one such skittish dash
I took shelter in an old tomb cobwebs laden place
an enticing eerie invited me in
and on a dilapidated wall
I saw some writing lithographic display
of a defiant verse
stating the following

“Close your eyes, the truth is within you searching you with equal vigor”

and I sat down in that deserted place
with eyes closed as prescribed
and at last, we found each other
the soul and me
and I was not a wanderer anymore
