Hues of soul

The Journal   I had  always succeeded  to cut and keep aside  the coiling tendrils of the creepers of sorrow  that come my way... The cast away, unattended  mass in the attic of my mind starts to fume and smoulder and the darkness engulfs me .. The surrounding darkness  gets thicker as days crawl by There is not even a silver streak anywhere in the horizon.. I curl up in the darkest corner of the deepest abyss in my mind.. Drained of the slightest strength  to move or even to open the eyes.. It was never like this in the past.. A breeze, a drizzle, a fresh bloom, song of a quail,  the first rays of the Sun Even a friendly phone call used to brighten me up  pulling me into the light  up from the darkness .. As profound sorrow engulfs me I hear a feeble murmur from within.. I strain with all the bones in my ears.. and guess I hear what it says . "Do not look for light outside.. It is hidden in the ashes, somewhere deep wit...

New Year Resolution  How to make life simple  as far as possible.?  That's the thought  storming my mind  this new year morning.. Not to think too much about things? Not to get involved too deeply  into the matters that are  beyond my righful space? Look inward and focus on myself? Ohh God! Even thinking about simplicity  is so much complicated! So, this new year morning,  I adorn my old overthinking self  and plan to unclutter my poor brain  slowly, gradually, as the year progresses.. Preetha Raj
