Surviving Thoughts

If not the mind ruminated on disavowed thoughts

From the first faint light to the darkest hours

There would have been much more time

Without being submerged in unnecessary worries

Nebulous times erased from every clock

Dreams would have opened up about intrinsic plans

‘Stand back’ says the eyes that seek clarity

Live and breathe the simple ideas of universe

Go back a few steps if you must

Only to move ahead with an unburdened heart

~Amitav
