The morning was tranquil

Rain ushered from the sky, 

like it was a boon from the heaven. 

Washing away all the worries

of yesterday. 

Everywhere was calm, 

As if, 

the morning breeze was chanting

A prayer of serenity. 

My mind, oh my mind

It was thinking of the new day

and its responsibilities

to be fulfilled for others. 

No space for my loneliness, 

no time to spend 

with the words of mine. 

I was gazing at the floor

With a void in my glance. 

But there was going a fight, 

Between 

the two parts of my mind. 

Whether to think, or to leave. 

To rise an array of questions, 

Or to be calm 

and 

stay quiet. 

Soon

there was a harmony. 

One part of my mind

continued its thoughts

And the other was still

As if 

my mind surrendered itself

to the meditative chaos.
