A Vision…

Crystal-tear stars falling down from an amber sky
Yet, the city was dark…
And, the air was icy and dry

All languages had become one
Yet, mystery was all around…
A deep sorrow had closed their eyes

It was like a dream, no ending and no beginning
Yet, pain had changed their lives…
I had no choice but to hear their prayers

Somehow I made it through the wilderness
Yet, unspoken words whispered…
The year 2014 it is, a splendor blurred my sight

Armed silhouettes surveyed the unknown
Yet, people yearned …
The ritual passage to the other side

Justified life was no more
Yet, waiting in vain…
Was their only hope

Just two years had passed since final day
Yet, judgment never came…
Emancipation from self was the antidote

Felt it incumbent upon me to reach out
Yet, I came to learn…
I was observing the world through a glass

I was already on the other side
Yet, I longed what it once was…
Eros was the only path

It is possible to travel a hundred years
Yet, be in the same terrain…
Or, step just a few feet to a different world
