Burden of Surprises

Smothering the surprises and waiting for the stars to dim

Making the night different and preparing to hide from the lovely dreams

Snatched away and retired to an indiscriminate world

Impermanent time embedded in the soul to transform it permanently

So resilient! The altered reality is happy to suppress the emotions

It’s a vigorous labour to carry the megalithic burdens on frail shoulders

Waiting for the surprises of a doomsayer’s narration of existence

~Amitav
