The Unknown World Outside Or The Inner World

By Sarita Shubhadarshini

Unborn little life, inside her mother’s womb,

fantasies the unknown world outside, she’s never seen.

Unaware of evils of society, she trusts her God.

Mother nature inspires her every now and she’s good to know the virtues and vices.

Snow-mist peaks, crispy lakes, bee’s nectar, rocks of Pyramid, the handsome sky,

Falling streams, icy glaciers, holy rituals, smoking cigars, the dead world’s agony,

Ahh, what not? Ambivalency engulfs her every time she peek outside.

In the quest of consciousness, she finds peace.

She needs no one but her to explore the world, the world within herself.

What’s more beautiful than this,

As vast as the space, As deep as the ocean,

As dark as the blackhole, As kind as the sun, she can find every sweet and sour in her,

Every rain and desert in her, that pilgrimage of identifying her soul,

Is no less than a fun.

“How foolish I seemed!”, She mocked her previous self for

Chasing the world outside all her lifetime, beyond wanderlust, she was.

The most charismatic world inscribed in her, divine yet so mysterious.

Each try to explore the inner world takes her closer to the other world.

Falling in love with herself, she finds solace. Guess what;

She’s never been happier ever before.

In the deepest depths of herself, her despair deceases and silence silences.

The delta of love, peace and joy soothes her exhausted soul,

Bestows the immense power to live.

Curiosity extends beyond infinity when she interrogates,

A million questions popping up, not knowing the answer is she.

Many faces cremated in the heart, yet finding the one.

Only aim to know her, takes her to a magical ride of beauty.

And she ponders; “Can I be a human again?”
