 Ready to Pursue the Light of My Desires

--- Nandini Mitra

 

I’m moving beyond the horizon of my dreams,

Like a traveler I’m wandering and

Exploring what remains unexplored

That can lead me to undiscovered treasures,

All set to take a deep plunge

Into a sea of my thoughts,

The horizon looks no longer threatening,

My faith and I embrace

The little wonders that I waited for so long,

Darkness disappears,

A thin passage of light illuminates me,

My own sky gets brightened by the truth.

 

No contradictions now mar my path,

Endless time I have stumbled upon

To ponder over abysmal darkness

That I’ve left behind,

A land so sublime lies ahead,

Blossoms blooming in wilderness

Mesmerise me unveiling their tapestry of colours,

I forgot about all that’s gloomy and stale,

Eager to tell the story of romance I wear,

I keep my eyes wide open

And pursue the light of my desires.

 

I’ll follow the path of the morning sun

Search for faces familiar,

Touch the hearts of those

Who I ignored once,

Revere in the glory of light,

Beyond the horizon of my dreams

Waits a new tomorrow,

My cloak washed with love and warmth

Promise to conquer the brutality of hearts,

Merge with the rhythm of the universe,

My eyes are wide open,

Ready to pursue the light of my desires.
