There are times when we do not seek time’s assent
Trying to negate an illusion that is essential to keep track
Open palm, few lines that criss-cross as perception of fate
There are no engravings on eternity’s soul,
Yet we etch deep patterns of sorrow on our heart along the way
Failing to hold on to innocence, only glimpses of it in retrospect
Churning in the stomach create a vortex of weak emotions
Yearning for the Ocean of nothingness to rapidly wash the shores
Welcome departure from the chronology of existence
Dreams embraced in bulbous moments release into timelessness
Euphoric soul experiences freedom of knowing the truth

Lovely Amitav. You’re right no markings exist on our soul, but we always manage to carry a heavy load. Sometimes it’s so difficult to set these emotions away. Why is that? As always, beautiful work.

Thank you so much, Sharon.
Indeed, life as we perceive it depends on the reality that our mind is conditioned to believe. Prolonged distractions from the truth (which can be experienced, but debatable, because it cannot be proven in worldly or physical terms). We have attributed definitions and limitations along the way. Mostly, we disrupt with our thoughts, rather than create according to our soul’s desires. We are as free as we believe ourselves to be.
