Beneath the Grey


Beneath the grey
I am awake

but only sometimes.

This voice has been meddling for centuries;
Tongue-tying letters and awkward notes
into knots of sharp silence which
just will not do.
 
I sip iciles
gathered from the dirty undercarriage
of yesterday's inspiration.

I am no longer a poet
gazing at the puddle of clouds
hung low like an executioners hood.

Beneath the grey
I am sometimes awake.

Heh. This is crummy.

    Yeah!

    You:-

    This voice has been meddling for centuries;
    Tongue-tying letters and awkward notes
    into knots of sharp silence which
    just will not do.

    Me:- Yes well.........every man of the middle age may , or may not, comment to you about what life means when your whole earthly existence seems, having never thought upon the problem before,to be part of an inner "attman - the whole inner self ( and the inner voice)" after a certain age of realisation after which the period experiences of life no longer seem to matter in some sense.

    When time walks into this cavern of our lifetime, we tend to see things, realize the grayness of it.

    Ironically, 'Life is as is no matter what'. It lives in a space I call Nirvana.

    I believe. there are reasons that are being kept to be reasons ought to be revealed in the next afterlife or probably to be given on the otherside.

    Always a pleasure to read your work, my very first favorite here in AP.

    Thank you and ping me if you have a new one.
