Inner and Outer Within

Must read

Sushant Thapa
 
All the good wishes
For a good journey
Take me to the folded palms,
A psalm of affection,
Prayers in the dark night,  
Lighting white candles of light
Splashing wishes rectifying imperfection.  
Cool arms of heaven
In a starry rain
Drenching the bones and bag
Heavy on the unfolding life
Cloudy travel of musical mist
A bare foot early morning garden walk
Smiling stranger knocking the gates
Of unmet eyes.
An ounce of life,
An awakening imprisoned,
A freedom battling,
Light only at the end of the tunnel.
