The mono life

 


The ebbing echo is now silent

Entangled in the contracting waves

Gagged with the slicing strings

That afloat a myriad dreams 

In the eye of my sky that hangs within

The call to the other side of tunnel

Dies in the rumble of busy life

There is no echo to respond 

Even if a negation is the answer

The throngs continue to emit a silent din

In the bustle from one spot to nowhere

Only to reach the wonted origin at night

After being flogged throughout the day

The deafness amidst the commotion

Where all crowd resembles only me

Like the thirsty fish drowning in water

Choked by the slithering noose of mind

Not a whimper in the overflowing silence

Amidst the decanted caracas of a whisper

I stumble upon the grave of my inner sound 

The other part of life is left far behind

It peeps into the yard and bids a bye

The mono life mistakenly deboards at the terminus

Without a counter to return to the past.
