Reflections...! Poem by Devanshu Patel

Reflections...!

All alone,
In the darkness of the night
And in the dazzling light of the day,
When I think about my life....,
My heart feels that,
I am living a life...in between....!
Between two distinct parameters!
Some times feeling that I'm in heaven!
Then feeling like falling down to the damn reality!
Other times I feel like having everything....
And then... there is nothing I have!
That life, which is swinging between
Hope and despair,
Joy and sorrow,
Fact and fantasy,
I think.
Now is destined to be my existence! ! !

Sometimes I feel like
I am a king…
But without a kingdom...!
A father (of a sweet daughter!)
And then feel like having no kids...!
A large ocean….
But of no use.....
just a vast stretch of saline water!
A huge tree,
Bearing no fruits, not even a shade or shelter to any!

Just a helpless…poor creature
Uselessly dragging existence! ! !
