Where Are You? Poem by DASHARATH NAIK

Where are you
hidden or wayward
since long missing you
and the world has stopped

in the dreams of my nights
you overpower passions
my feelings vaporised
where are you....?

Where are you
in the bush or valley
in the song of the birds
or in the huge tidal waves

in the harmony incoherent
in the turbulent time or
in the dead silence
where are you....?

Where are you,
too much disturbed
my mind and soul torn
heart broken into pieces

in the lusturous innocence
in the thunderous clap or
in the succulent jollity
where are you....?

Where are you
in inaccessible ether
or in the radiant colours
reflected in rippling brook

in the sun-beaten hamlets
in the unexplored realm
or in pages of diaries
where are you....?

Where are you
in naked land's trap
aching in deep silence
in the ebony dark dungeon

years passed in ceaseless
quest in search of you
the world quivering
where are you....?

Where are you
my darling and muse
a state of blissful mind
PEACE everyone names you

our hearts far from the bliss
come out of the ambush
the mankind bemoans
where are you....?
