Stranded

Alone...

In this ocean of feelings, 

that were built over the time,

as the wind of my aspirations,

propelled, this boat of mine. 

From a flying start,

a journey I embarked, 

with sails that's fastened,

by the wires, of loved ones. 

I braved the incoming storms,

and the capricious weathers, 

ably supported by the ballast,

I drifted boldly, to my destination. 

Alone...

Things changed slowly,

as the atmosphere thickened, 

and the airflow too ceased,

coming into a standstill. 

I tried to row, 

or let the thing float,

yet I felt powerless,

against the forces of nature. 

Day turns night, 

weeks, months and years,

getting drenched in rainfall,

got dehydrated, by heat of sun. 

Alone...

I am stranded,

living through a pattern,

without any indication,

of coming change. 

As the ocean, rises and falls,

I seek directions, towards my goals,

losing hope, every passing moment,

looking at vast emptiness...of visible horizon. 

And I wondered, as I lie,

should I let my anchors down,

without knowing the very depth, 

below the surface, of my emotions.
