FORGETFULNESS- DIVYAM MALPANI

FORGETFULNESS

These wispy clouds of memory,

Driftin’ aimlessly in our mind,

When needed most they delude us all,

These thoughts we cannot find.

These hidden thoughts, they make us frown,

We ponder and we think,

Our heads start throbbing, aching,

Our souls get dampened, our faces sink.

When we’re on the brink of failure,

That thought flashes through our head,

Our thirst starts quenching, but is not quenched,

For the unseen again has fled.

Like stars in a cloudy sky,

Like corals in water green,

These thoughts are present behind the veil,

They are never seen.

They run around in an endless loop,

Hiding from our sight,

In times of help, leave us flailing,

And selfishly take flight.

Like the Moon sailing through the clouds,

Like the peeking sun of morn,

They are unseen, but always felt,

They never stop, just move on.

THE END
