On an arousing night I sleep, br I dream; embark on a trip br Through bare blue sky, br Where stars won’t blink br Neither wink nor stare; br The sky pale ‘n shy br I sit on her lean silken cloud sailing by br I know not where, br I know not it doesn’t tell me why! br br My mind looks behind sailing, to see br The trails I left this far life sour ‘n sweet, br Friends ‘n foes love ‘n hate all roles I played; br Roles excelled those miserably failed br Games lost ’n won break evens gained; br I look ahead ‘n shudder to think br To where my journey is, to where I’m led… br br I feel heavy; my carry gets slow br Drifts down; I lean to see the ocean below br The sea of love for life, shores either side, br The silvery waves down beckoning me, br My mind goes after my boundless thirst, br Runs after this mirage, gets tired sweat wet, br More drained; inside insatiable remains… br br Ending my journey ending my dream br My mind awakens me; the cloud resigns… br br 29 06 08br br Kesav Venkat Easwaranbr br
