I live my days in a whisper β£β£
Neither overbearing β£β£
nor painful β£β£
After a whileβ£β£
the status quo nothingnessβ£β£
nags on my mind β£β£
Sensual pleasures seduce β£β£
to thwart all my progress β£β£
I made without them β£β£
but I give in β£β£
β£β£
The familiar guilt and theβ£β£
progress becomes unfamiliarβ£β£
In the process of thinking β£β£
I forget to contemplate β£β£
I remember all the things I couldnβt do β£β£
to disremember parts of me β£β£
I couldnβt face β£β£
I feel nothing and just then it strikes meβ£β£
I am everything β£β£
as a door of white light opens β£β£
β£β£
Awakened at last β£β£
I see the colours in the white β£β£
My focus switches from the redβ£β£
to the source of its hue β£β£
The river becomes clearer β£β£
The sky moves slower β£β£
I witness the spectacle β£β£
I thought I had lost all hope forβ£β£

Rahul, I think this is one of your best poems. It’s been a while since I’ve written a poem; but I have a new one up on my website. The poem is called “Planet in Red”. I’d like to know what you think of it.

This absolutely describes the awakening most people encounter after a period of hardship where they feel lost and depressed. I had a similar experience. Trust in the universe within you for guidance and support for it will not disappoint.
