Unsettled in Mind
By Dr Swati A Gadgil
Unsettled in mind
suspended thoughts
defying gravity
confusion I fought…..
void undefined
hollow walls encasing
a shapeless space
DNAs escaping…..
bonds so strong
yet fragile are the strings
difficult to hold
sustainability on brink…..
easier to scatter
with a blow of destiny,
than to gather
with scent of harmony…..
naive to follow
cohesive rules of Universe
demonish it feels
to break and disperse…..
definition of space
convincing and cogent
yet happiness trace
volatile and tangent……
unless ostracized
will not feel the pulse,
or when sent to coventry
on some random impulse…..
unsettled in mind
suspended thoughts
defying gravity
confusion I fought…..

Existential unease is to the fore in this taut and vibrant piece heralding the return of this author’s inimitable poetic acumen.
Thank you very much dear Louis. Am struggling to keep sane as destiny has struck my dad with cancer and daughter in me is taking over often than the doctor in me.
A cathartic outpouring of unsettling thoughts disturbing the tranquility of the poet’s creative imagination .
Thank you for sparing a moment to respond. It is very kind of you.

Poetry is therapeutic,it is said.May this ”spontaneous overflow” help you in your present crisis.
True Vijay sir….when overwhelmed by happiness or anguish words flow better
