MIRAMBIKA

This was written on 21.03.09.


Will I…….
Will I forget?
But I don’t want to.
But what if I,
Without realizing…
Forget?
Could that happen…
I think it can.
I think it will.

There was chaos…
Total chaos inside me,
I couldn’t think straight…
Couldn’t break my way through
all the thoughts scattered in my mind.
I was scared…frightened.
Just couldn’t see where I was going.

I will forget……
Forget everything I learnt here.
Forget what I have become here.

A voice whispered…

No……
No, you won’t…
If you don’t want to.
It will be fine.

So soft was the voice,
That I could barely hear it.
And in the same tone I asked

Who……
Who are you?

There was silence.
Then it came again
Softly……
Meekly…..

Mirambika.
