I Tried Poem by SRIRANJI ARATISANKAR

I tried to persuade the days, failed,
as I could not be light for a little while;
I tried to persuade the nights, failed,
as I can't intersecting fire-fly cycle.
I tried to persuade the light, failed,
as I have no perception of awakening.
I tried to persuade the darkness, failed,
as I never followed the light syllabus.
I tried to persuade the speed, failed,
as I never touched the real frigidity.
I tried to persuade the frigidity, failed,
as I never stood in the centre of inertia.
I at last tried to persuade you, failed,
as I stood ashore, but never dived
I tried to persuade the myself, failed,
as I all life never went beyond me.
