Journal:-1!! Why I want everything in this life??

 A short poem-

I wonder,

Why do I feel lost?

Why am I  distracted and

keep running behind random goals?

Why am I  never content and satisfied?

Why am I  incomplete?

Why I want everything and be infinite?

 

Wisdom literature says,

The answer to all,

Lies in search of self within

And nowhere, infinite lies outside.

If the light has to come,

It can only shine inside.

 

It sounds abstract to me,

What do I search within?

Within, I find a wheel of thoughts,

Slaving me for hours in its cog.

I keep on rotating and revolving,

Just like the cog,

With no beginning or end in sight.

 

Just a random day,

I take a pause then,

And ask these thoughts

 of their whereabouts

Who are you? 

And where are you coming from?

What do you want ? 

And what you will do,

 if I follow on your designed path?

Initially, they hesitate and stammer

But only then, 

when, I see their origin

And ask- 

is it worthwhile to linger on?

They fade away and vanish

Just like the smoke 

disappearing in the air.

I held my legs 

not to blindly run 

behind the world that seems 

so cheerful and full of life,

And, I understand,

Not everything outside, 

is the source of

Fulfilment to this incomplete life!!

 

Well!!- the question is still there

And the search is still there…..

Do you also search for infinite inside?? Designed by author in canva
