Null and Void
--- Sujata
Parashar
Mind, a clutter
of words and emotions
jostling for space
'Siamese twins'
One can't do without the other
Recognising their difference
is awareness
Mind, an ocean
of lessons and learning
disguised as obstacles
at each stage of life
Clearing them
is living
Mind, a vortex
where great sleeping ideas
move in circular motion
only awakened by man's compassion,
curiosity and imagination;
and the need to make sense of chaos.
Mind, where thoughts
feelings, ideas and learning are
birthed
and also; the space where they
become null and void
Silence prevails
