A Fistful Of Stars: Alone
Hariharan Balakrishnan's poem reflects the isolated feelings of a sensitive poet.
Poetry wilts
In dessicated emptiness
When thoughts refuse
To come out with light
And emotion floods
The heart, the soul
In sadness
Alone
For reason refused
And emotion badgered
A fore-thought kicked
Right on this forehead
Of reason defined
And expressed
In clariy, aloud
Alone
A rare day
A strange world
A milieu beyond me
Do I stand up, have my say
Or sit still like the Buddha
Meditating in silence
Or simply walk away
Alone?
