A Different Tribe

Somewhere between

Crumbling desires

And faded wishes,

She finds

An ocean of hope

That keeps her going.

Somewhere between

Fetters of bounded action,

Empathy gap

For no right reason.

She finds a whole scoop of

Legitimate dreams,

That leads her to

Subtle awakening.

Between mundane and profound

She picks the mean,

To align with the surround sound

Chooses the perfect,

That matches up with

The call of the sublime intent.

Amidst clumsy lanes and by lanes of life,

She finds the way.

To paint everyday

In shades exotic,

Elicits meaningful twist

In action and speech.

Eases differences

To weave...a tapestry of magic.

She is yet to learn

How to hold on to grouse,

Angst and anger for long

How to...

Belong to selfish bastion,

Vent ire and frustration.

For...she is

An epitome of love

A sprawling arena of affection

A monument of empathy

An embodiment of passion

Per se...one of a kind

A different tribe.
