In and Inspired


©2016 Vijita Pillai

With folks around, their whirlpool of views
I fell in it, my notions buried -
No regrets for I had the finest lot,
With them I saw the best times fly.
..and here I mourn their absence –
Memories now poems, shaped in solitude…

Wandering today, wonder what I lost,
On the roads that we once explored,
On ways that echoed unconfined laughs;
The inner self finds hard to smile -
..and the sparkling whites are sealed.
Now wrinkles of wisdom, unfold in solitude…

I breathed; but died a hundred times,
Now respire reminiscence -
Stood still, yet walked a thousand miles,
the path of despair past.
..and today I am the Phoenix –
Rising strong from the hurt in solitude…

The sense of loneliness hurts no more,
Love the pain bestowed on me,
Now is the time I have for myself,
Growing in time, by knowing me
..and wiser now; taking life easy - I spill emotions.
Pen down thoughts; inspired by solitude

  2. I think we all need solitude to reflect of life and ourselves. As we get older we realise how short life is and that we should waste not one minute of it.

    1. Absolutely... as we mature with time and redefine our goals, somewhere we realize the need to rediscover ourselves too and that's where solitude becomes bliss! :)
