Sleepwalk!

"As the weather turns from bright to grey

As thoughts hover across mind’s alley

Fluffy, darker, and winds sway

Is that a storm brewing, asks the heart

Who knows, for it might just be – a play

What lies, what gets swept, and what stays

As the ship forays through haze

Beyond, and to meet all those gaze

Wonders the mind, what role does it lay

For one, who came to watch the show?

Ends up behind curtain amidst light and glare

And sounds in background asking to behave

As one should – when on stage

A place that brings some cheer to faces

Some tears to eyes, some bloods to scream

Yet holding on to suspense that comes

With an end which slays, expectations

For what good to presume, what bad to surrender

It might come hard, it could be tender

For the part to play may come sooner or later

Inevitable as it seems, unavoidable as it appears

To be played yet to play

And to act as if there is a ray,

Of light amidst dark, of doors beyond walls

Of mind and heart, an invisible quay

Beside the shores of the sea, being thirsty

For ever, amidst water for a drop of water, O Dear!"
