Roam Free

Roam Free This amazing mind like a flowing river Source of countless thoughts Lord of inner and outer world It's currents fed by varied perceptions Drawn through my senses, My senses like hungry animals Always in search of food Their enormous appetite Ever unsatisfied Drives me crazy Desires have worn me out Like powerful waves Cutting on sandy soil and rocks Time washes faded impressions Longings create ever new patterns Worn out knees and shaky hands Fail me miserably This body- Once an amazing machinery Accomplice in all my joys Now with parts rattling in each move Burdened to carry the Weight of life till last breath Cluttered with avarice and attachment Mysterious is heart and Mind's demand to live But the misery of body Like black sludge Covers the tranquil waters Oh! How with trembling heart My intellect pleads me to agglomerate Beyond the strife of daily nuisance To set aside this turmoil And cleanse my heart To break loose from old cage To let this mind roam free Calm and peace full in silence Like a balloon floats and Capers in autumn wind Under the sunny blue sky Of this fascinating world.
