Perception of longing
and loneliness crawling ,
afraid of lurking shadows
of cold damp days
and sulking nights ,
mute expressions,..
wild at times ,
struggling mind
no tears , just
anger and fear….
someone sensed
need and pain ,
a step forward
a hug and pat ,
gave a hand
to the sinking heart ,
loving touch
playing tunes ,
magic wand
saves the slide ,
slipping sands
and shifting dunes ,
harried mind
now in slumber ,
deep within
calm and clear…..

The anxieties when alone are put down. Good narration of the inner pain.
Captures the fleeting existential angst common to all of us with inimitable poetic aplomb.
A taut, streamlined, evocative poem.
To precipitate, and settle an ocean of silence within.
Beautiful portraiture…!
