It’s that moment
when winds have changed
and days have merged
into its inseparable night again;

I stand between
winds and fire of time
and wait for the Father
and His judgment today;

Munificent as days have been
I add the same to this night
Amidst several jejune thoughts
“Am I afraid?” I ask;

And repeatedly …..
“Am I afraid?” I ask myself

……

“Am I afraid?” I keep asking myself

…….

waiting for a salvation? Or a redemption of the mind?

How poignant Alok. I can relate to this for many times when a hurdle crosses my path I have to ask the same question over and over: 'why am I afraid?'
As mentioned before your poems are always food for thought.

Siva [Ghost Particle]: Or perhaps revisiting the life and thinking of certain answer ... is there ever something called redemption??

--------------------------------------

Janice: Janice the subtle difference between "I am afraid" and "Why am I afraid" is tht with the latter there is still the possibility to say "Am I afraid?" and then "I am not afraid" ... and when we question our courage I think we come out more stronger than before. thank u my friend

------------------------------------

Kalai: I liked "for the problems they created" - so true most of the times it is we ourselves who create all these problems. thank u

-------------------------------------

Venus: Yes so true ... thank you my friend

-------------------------------------

Mona: yes u r so right ... thats why I asked Siva ... is there ever something called redemption. Thanks

By asking it more often, it only strengthens your inner self.

Aria: you bet ... for my part I am meandering for answers tht i know doesnt exists ... but I still want to question ... I still want to hope ... I still want answers .. thank u

fear is always about the future, isnt it? perhaps based on a past experience, but what is past doesnt scare us so much, except perhaps the thought of it happening again.

Alok said...

Mystic Rose: yes so true ... thanks much ..

amidst several jijune nights,
comes a day she arrives
and the munificent light
is the answer, that brings me to life
