I became conscious as I fell down the bottomless abyss
I could help it not
I had to let myself fall
There was nothing to grope on to
There were no hands held out to me
There was no magical rope thrown down to me
Even if there was any such thing
I would not have taken the incentive to attempt
A self rescue operation!
I fell and fell,
I sunk deeper and deeper
And I could only see, in front of me
The silent skies!
Seeming to be like a pane of glass
An opaque one
From my side, I could never see what lies beyond it
While those who reside on the other side
Could see me at all times
Even when I try to hide myself!
I continued, meanwhile, my trip down the bottomless abyss
I still am falling, today
But with the skies I have fallen in love with
Nothing, no force whatsoever
Will ever be able to deter me from my aim
I shall break this glass pane
I shall break it and see the other side
I shall break it and understand, why I was meant to fall
Yes,
Indeed
I became conscious as I was falling down a bottomless abyss
I realized that nothing matters
Neither do the false shows of the mundane
Nor do the whims of the ego
Yes, my soul woke up
It shall not be pleased with the mundane
It cares not
Whether I fell
Or whether I wear a diamond crown
Seeks it only the skies
And shall it be soothed
Only when it shall be immersed in their expanse
An excellent philosophical, insightful poem.
An intriguing work with much potential that would have benefitted from some attentive editing. As such it lets the reader’s attention sag somewhat with its overly long lines and explicit authorial interventions such as ” I continued meanwhile..”.
