Why have i obscured my vision so bleak
Why am i gnawing the husks of time
Why strand the dreams that once had wings
Why stall the hope that once would fly ??
No trouble beckons unless driven by mind
Why lose the sanity of frozen thoughts
Eyelids & lashes that would never droop
Why kill the smile & bear the sties ??
Once deep rooted trunk,now in shallow water'
Is nothing but a useless log
sauntering in the salty,teary water
It would reach nowhere, just lie and rot
And there i dwell on thoughts so heavy
With a flashing reckless smile
My soul would find peace i know
All i need is a change of mind !!
