That which is farthest feels closer to the heart
If only the heart knew of this longing after emerging from the distractions
They sit closer for some reason; trappings of regular dialogues of stern words
Judging them takes time and sends tremors across the overworking mind
Is silent wandering a myth for the humankind?
Let’s imagine the endless possibilities from the shy glances of curious eyes
Presence of nature’s will along with the changing fortunes
From darkness to dawn and the navigations of esoteric worlds
When will that time come when the soul will be embraced by farthest feelings?
Ever present here, but the yearnings of the eternal nature are stronger
Breaking away from the mirage of reality is possible by relinquishing time
Not being cruel to this world but quietly walking away from an illusion
Taking a cue from the constellations before proceeding towards that path
Let’s not be caught in the predicament of feeling helpless forever
Release the imprisoned thoughts from the mind, pardon them from the heart
When the soul feels lighter, it’s time to bridge the distance
