busy, inspiration, life, lifestyle, me, Realisation, serene
Quick, the world is;
fast; running;
and it’s all a flash.
Noisy, hustling
and buried into
“defined lifestyles”.
I am in the parade too.
In a spurt
past strangers
and loved ones;
frisking time;
scheduling life!!
Or else,
I keep looking
into the expanse,
of the earth,
its innocence;
the extension,
I try to absorb;
Contours filling me,
the silence I engulf !!
And I sink into myself,
deeper and submerged,
trying to dissect what I am.
Only to realise,
I am the chunk in the commotion,
and in the turbulence;
along with the calm in the noiselessness;
the placid pacific aura that whispers into me.
It’s all myself;
brewed across seasons,
tamed in strife,
bathed in compassion,
gracefully cherished!!
As I again smile at myself.
Dissecting me,
into what I am;
Another Unplanned Arbitrary Personage!!
The photograph was taken by one of my friends, when we were on a trip to Vagamon !! (Listed as the '50 most attractive places to visit in India’ by National Geographic Traveler magazine)

Lovely poem to go with the photo. I really enjoyed reading it. We really are very small in a world that is so much bigger than it seems. Sure, sometimes we think the world is a small place but it’s the stories and different dimensions of ourselves that make it big and complex 🙂
