SLEEP WALKING~by Indira Sadanandan

 

 

SLEEP WALKING

In me how you came ?
Last in the decades ?
I thought at every moment.
I am not wavered.
It was not a miracle.
I was on my sleep walk.
I was searching for the well
To jump into
.But you stood cross on my way.
I fore legged on the parapet
In the midst of my sleep.
I knew nothing.
Who is behind sleep walking ?
Researches put forth no theory on it.
But sleep walking is a fact from
Time immemorial.
Shakespeare’s characters
Had done it,
Kings and princesses.
I had no realm to reign,but yet
I walked in my sleep without
No destiny in mind or
Quite unconsciously.
Midnight it was.
You held me on your chest
You brought me back to life
Still you are in me.
