Resurrection: A Tale of Self Exploration
A large vacant hall
housed me which
Sitting over a mat and a set of
My all-time-companions.
A sudden power cut
forced my mind to instantly halt which
Amidst the prevalent darkness
When I gazed at the night sky
Filled with numerous twinkling jewels
Radiating a silvery spark
I started thinking on many aspects
Which proved to be an eye opener
“Have I been living my life fully?”
Paradoxically questioned ITo myself, after a long while
Came another question
Instead of the answer that
I desired to give myself
“What’ll I be leaving behind
If I die at this moment?”
All my thoughts of despair
Collapsed when I realised
It had always been my worries creating
Those uncertain state of reality
That had imprisoned me
Veiling my energetic spirit.

It was a moment of
Waking up from a deep slumber
The power cut was no more
And it became the moment of resurrection
Of my dormant soul.
