the wait...

there are still moments...
when you breathe down on me...
when i can feel your presence...
lingering down...
sweeping me in you...
there you are...
never too close...
and yet so near...
remember those times...
when i'd sweep you...
play with your tussled hair...
and feel like i owned the world...
now...
there is sadness...
there is darkness...
the niche ain't lighting up my world...
the microcosm ceases to be...
there are times when i cease to exist...
perhaps merely a spectator of my own destiny...
shadowing my very moves and yet the essence...
lost...
somewhere...
faraway...
now...
i walk...
atleast i am learning to...
to standup...
i wonder...
the worth of every life...
the value placed on the souls...
the plight of the young ones...
the wail of the widows...
pain and plight...
of the poor...
ALWAYS...
here i am...
yielding...
to a world i know not...
to principles i perceive not...
to a culture i believe not...
identity...
was it always a farce?
am i the possessed or the possessor?
am i the persecuted or the persecutor?
the tormented or the tormentor?
sometimes...
i know not...
and this is why the journey goes on...
but something deep down trembles...
for all is not lost...
where there is night...
there will be a new dawn...
and thus i wait...
