Alive

By Geethanjali Dilip


In an emptiness I cannot express,

A strange lightness takes over my being,

Where I grow wings of just letting go of

All that I hang on to,

I float aimless

It is only me with myself and a glowing light that beckons

I become an empty street

I seem to be a strange grove where memories are trees strewn here and there

The foliage trembles in the light breeze whispering moments I have gathered

Then the leaves fall in a surrender



I become a bare tree

Having lived through seasons

I do not wait for the dawn for the dark appeals to me now

I become the night when stars send me messages of desires I have abandoned

Then I become the endless sky

I am empty again

With the vastness

I have unfolded myself where everything expands and stretches to endless horizons I merge onto

I am the air I breathe

All I know is I'm alive.

Vibrantly alive! Devoid of desires- flourishes that aliveness where one feels empty and full at the same time as the poem says I am all over like air .

The poet again uses the forest and becomes a bare tree. However, she feels grounded only to become a bare tree going into the vastness of the universe. Is she alive and has become the universe where the stars speak of distant memories? All we know is that she is alive.
