Unseen Galaxy

July 25, 2018

 

Amid the hurriedness and haste
there lazes stillness, motionless and chaste
In an unseen galaxy of a trifling territory

It is but a forgotten keyhole of a lost realm
As you step within spreads out a Universe
trimming your dream bundle into a petite bit

Peace brings depths to the soul
In those tiny droplets of moments
You penetrate to your density
Naked thoughts Pure and unpolluted
A poem that you never going to write

As the winds of the hills stride
Cradling the aroma of tea grasses
Amid hurriedness and haste
Search for that estate of stillness…

The Soaked Rotty Pieces

These Lengthy nights of winter Like a bird which sings
