The fire rings
Encircling me
I tried to cross
Burned me
And hurt me
I mustered all my courage
But the inferno was blazing and red-hot
I was ready to sacrifice my skin
But not someone
Who was beyond those circles of fire rings
Not too far
Yet beyond the reach of my grasp
That someone who was soft like petals
And like the newly born green shoots
And a calyx covered flower
Too supple
And too delicate
To touch
To feel
To experience, its fragrance
I was afraid of stepping into
The uncharted territory
The zone of uncertainty
Where there was bleak darkness
The darkness
That illuminated me
Yet left me in dark
I waited for
A
Thanks alot….
For my courage???
No
It was for
My cowardice
For my act of inaction
Which was more than action
Or so I think
A novice soul
Expects so in its inaction than in its action
I avoided drifting into the uncomfortable zone
Just thinking about the other
And not about the self
The restiveness and restlessness
Is inexplicable
Words fail me
How do I express?
Hey..!! Please let me know
Some medicine
To cure my restiveness and restlessness
But the
Thoughts transcended the periphery of the fire ring
Alas! There could have been a fire ring
For the thoughts too
There was none
No boundary for the thoughts
And I am struggling to circumscribe
My thoughts
Within the periphery of the fire ring
And I am a miserable failure
And I look despondently
At the
Fire rings I tried to cross
Fire rings I tried to cross…….
