Page 16 - ISABS Here and Now
P. 16
Thoughts were my feelings, Rose the phoenix of feelings,
the future my home, as the heart thundered about,
grey matter gave way to palpitations,
the here and now as fiction, silences brought introspections out
with the fear of an unknown
As the ISABS journey ended,
Walk I did on my ego trip, the heart questioned the mind,
till I lost and found, what say you about your present state!
What thoughts do you hold in your bind?
the true meaning of feelings,
from my ISABS group around I have fallen in love with feelings,
says the mind to the heart,
Give love and get ten-fold back,
was a feeling unknown, don’t let rationalization infect you,
how selfish I had been, you have made a good start.
for so long, for so long
Sasmit Patra,
Here I was with complete strangers, BLHP
and parted from them with tears
the bear hugs got a little tighter, sasmitpatra@gmail.com
as we trampled each other’s fears
The white pillows and mattresses are mute witnesses,
to the tears shed all around,
fear, guilt, egos and selfishness,
got strewn to the ground
