O Seeker of the Unknown!

[A poem by Mani garu titled ‘O Seeker of the Unknown!’.]


O seeker of the unknown!
The night is deep and long!
The air is cold and piercing!
The way is shrouded with fears and doubts,
with alluring scent of uncertainty, promising nothing!
Standing there forlorn and dejected,
How do you walk through this night?
Though,
The relentless longing for the unknown, aches the heart,
The pangs of pain, throw you into the night, to walk through,..
Up in the sky, the beacons of the light, whisper of the path ahead,..
Can you walk through this night?!
The pains and pleasures of the memories, weighing down the walk,
The darkness of the regrets blurring the vision,
How do you make it?
O Seeker!
Why don’t you rest for a while and
Empty your heart?
Leave all the trails and drags!
Let yourself fall asleep. Allow yourself engulfed by this night!
May the dawn, awaken you,
Caressing you with its warm touch,
And open up the unknown for you!
