I'm alone,
Yet the light in the center,
*
The silence stormed,
Yet the light in the center
*
The darkness unfurled,
Yet the light in the center
*
The body curled,
Yet the light in the center
**
The closure of the tomb,
The fall of the dome,
*
I rest in my loneliness,
the irresistible pain of bitterness,
*
Let me out of this shivering heart,
the indescribable disgust in my breath to start,
**
Have you been in such a space?
The wealth shining over the face,
the scent of sadness within the surface,
my welcoming heart, consumed to its fullest to taste,
*
The loud cry of my emptiness,
in the crowd of laughter and noise,
*
How will I stay in such a place?
The feeling of belongingness that stopped to engage,
**
The burdened silence, crawled to a blocked place,
An unreasonable unhappiness, unspoken to face,
**
And I am in a hurry, searching for a reason to say,
**
Yet the light in the center,
stayed all the while as a mentor,
facing the walls of strains and stains,
cracking up the mere life, to rain,
over the field of words, merging to convey,
"I'm surrounded yet alone."
**
The LIGHT, interrupted,
"No one here escapes the light in the center!"

About the Creator
Parvathi J
Through my pages, I find the quiet complexities of pain dwelling in a solitary space, burdening life’s endless demands, and unburdening the voiceless noise.
Witnessing the questioning, I speak the deeper silence of my voice.
