The Lonely Crowd

By The Lonely Crowd

The new year, I step out, hope of new vibes? The world started to impose the glaring energy of selfish enjoyment. Everyone, carrying multiple expectations from the year, seem to overrate the ephemeral joy of freedom, already in the snare of illusion, troubled I decide to barge out. The superficial decoration doesn't seem a sign of happiness, increasing people's anxiety. Escaping from real truth, the self, seeking outwardly themselves covered with layers of designations and identifications. I close my eyes numb, my heart paining of the plight, I also a part of. Not wanting to succumb, I haste through the crowd, seeking genuinely for my path. Enough of savouries, enough of fake bonds, enough of show, enough of futility now how long can I go, incessant tears wash me away, I scream out and run far away.

"O dear, O dear, O please you stop! Look at me once what I have to say, the time anyways gonna fly away.

Why do you cry, just come here, look no hither and thither just slow down O dear, the crowd's anyway not gonna hear.

Don't fear, don't fear, just come real near, safe and slow, a step and a step, don't look back no don't look back.

Why do you feel lone, talk to me, I know you better than you know me, give me your hand and for yourself you see.

Down you are unaware of your purpose, and all the crowd, unsatiated and misdirected by your own choice.

Look around, what do you see? Pain you are in and you see pain outside? I know what do you want and long.

Endless delicacies your tongue has tasted, and how many forms has your eyes seen? Still empty and lonely you have been.

Watering leaves of the tree? the tree doesn't grow, water the root and see the leaves, branches and flowers grow.

Reach out, reach out for the root, become strong and nourish thy heart, nurture thy emotions and strengthen thy desire.

See the world then, and stand out strong, knowing the root, instil confidence, feel the gratitude and give out Love

Breathe in and feel bliss, Hold in and see the gratitude and exhale out all negativity, Pause your situation and observe.

Now get up, and let it go and realize that you are always full of knowledge and happiness, savour it and let the nature do it's magic . . ."

I open my eyes, reddish hue of the dawn welcoming me, the world has never been so beautiful . . .
