GANGAJAL

A world lost, or gained-

As the soft shadows diminish

Leaving eyes translucent

The clear bottom visible

Through an unruffled surface

No mystery lurks within now

No anguish murks the gaze

Only a tranquil stillness remains

As life skims over gently

Having lost its ability to ravage

Those distant shores

Those raging waves

Gleefully embraced my offering

As I set adrift my needs

And silently bid them goodbye

Like Gangajal , I then scooped

Peace from those moments

And willingly drank of it

To be purged and set free, forever

To begin living again-once again
