When I decided on the infrequent visits
Started contemplating in silence
My mind became aware of the noise
From the other side, another dimension
All these elements that I am of
I cannot deny, but hope to balance them
Find a synergy- a route of self-awareness
Some of the realisations will be uneasy
On the settled consciousness
Which has forgotten to experience
Without interference and prodding
A hardened perception is stifling
Cages the freedom that I deserve
It is not about the East or West
Hoping to find that celestial light
Bridging my existence and doubt
Above the clouds, I can breathe
Comprehend with my eyes
Also, the mind that is detached
Beyond suspicion and feebleness
Interrupting the daily manipulations
Segregate them, discriminate
Between reality and illusions
Understand my being, and breathe
The untainted air, tread landscapes
Pristine and welcoming- all seasons
Definitions are memorised
Rhythms are unfelt and dishonest
I abhor the callous times
My abode helps me recuperate
From the false perceptions
Affecting my life and existence
Time to frequent the truth
Feel the phenomenal change
