there is no echo
emanating from the endless pit
the sound only disappears
like light into a black hole
sound devoured into silence
like a transformer
converting voltages to currents --
and very rapid ones too
in this fast river of life
where the rocks to hang on to
are slippery as eels
some slimier than sin!

how can energy disappear?
where does it go?

if it does go somewhere,
is that part of this world too
so that the sum total of
happiness and sadness is
the same as the sum total
of all additions and subtractions
of truths and lies
of light and shadows
of good and bad
of you and me
and yours and mine
which rounded up
to the nearest round figure
still comes to a zero
so ironic;

if it doesn’t go anywhere
then why don’t I hear myself speak
why do my thoughts die
strangled

is it a simple matter of
fade out
like having one too many
and not able to think straight for a while
and then not able to think at all

no, not true…
even the drunk have dreams
when they sleep
and they get their smiles too

no, I won’t stifle myself
I am not willing
to be a stranger to my dreams
and won’t estrange them
either
one day they will start speaking
again

(for now, I will start adding up
the positive bits)

Sudhir my friend, it's been a while since I read one of your rambles. I have to say that they are still as precious as ever.....This is delightful!....

It's good to read you again, Suhir.

This is an excellent write. You've really reached deep for this and I feel it's pondering and power.

Take care,

So many questions I have asked myself.

and this:

"then why don’t I hear myself speak
why do my thoughts die
strangled"

they do not die...I hear you, but I understand also how sometimes, sometimes it all seems futile. Hugs to you, my friend!
