SHOULD I

I fell
And hurt myself
The wounds have disappeared
But the scars
Remain

Leapt
Too high
On a mountain
Naked and blind
The rope snapped
The ladder broke

I clung
Desperately
To my Guide
Following me
Scratched her
Hurt her too.

Ventured
Far ahead
Untrained
Unskilled
Unmindful
And slipped

A climber
Should look up
Never down
I didn’t
Yet went down

Will I climb again ?
Should I ?
Will find out
From the adventurer
Who never gave up
Who knew how to climb
The right side
The right way
The right manner
Or

I move on

DIFFERENCES

You talk of differences
Where I see none
You talk of perceptions
Where I see just one

TO MYSELF

You think it is getting closer
It ain’t
You get deceived
Blinded by emotions

It is near
Yet there are those little distances
Which matter
That space is not yours
The ripples you create
May not reach across

Do not throw those pebbles
They may just hurt
Admire
The beauty of knowing
The joy of sharing

Someday perhaps
The distances will disappear
The souls will merge
And float blissfully
In the unifying space
Full of love
Full of bliss
