Life: A Walkthrough

My heart bubbles like a cauldron

Emitting vapours of emotions

That had been so foreign

To my brain: forbidden and forgotten

My mind was caged and locked

Behind the bars of 'crucial commandments'

Dust and webs covered the empty gaps

And that is how it got blocked

The only ones which could seep out

Were anger, envy and greed:

They caused a dreadful drought

Where would a joyous life breed?

A speck of hope within

Brewed up sentiments, never felt before

A downpour of realisation from my eyes

Washed off the arid lands ashore

The land, now moist, depicted signs of germination

I had sown several seeds with an affirmation

As the first golden ray befell the sprouts

It eroded the existence of doubts

I nourished those saplings

With utmost love and care

My fertile heart sings

Songs of rejuvenation with cheer
