Who Blinks

Who blinks first?

One who mocks nature or when nature upturns all the dreams

Where that bitterness has time to mingle with the multitude

Withering love and eroding elegance; fate mocks the mysterious attitude

Of cursing the silence and solitude; dar’st everyone challenges the universe

Speaking in wretched language, the sentiments of meanest nature

Bearing the dull load through the journey

There’s no time to speak to the celestial world- the echoes of despair always

Reverberates through the stifling air

Extreme challenges of ‘who blinks first’, isn’t the heroic game 

~Amitav
