EXPLORATION~by Indira Sadanandan

 

 

EXPLORATION

I came from a house adorned
By a river as its border
The banks of which even now
Rustle with love.
The branches of trees,shedding
Feathers of night birds reflecting
Fairy tales on my inner self.
While bathing in the river
The half naked bodies of women are
Floating in the coolness of the waves
Beating on the banks.
At home night covered their bodies
With the rough human weight
And new hopes toddled in their days.
My life is going on in between
Action involving exertion
And the bestowal of divine favour
Against my not fulfilling expectations .
I am in exploration of hopes
In the volcano in it’s intensity.
