The Bathtub Philosophy!!!
Life this is, very different from what it appeared
Change is the only constant thing, a wise man said
I have these moments, these glimpses that arise
Tyring hard to convey something I would never realize
"Solace is what you want now", something said,
"Its your tub!! you know that, don't you, kid??"
I turned the taps and filled it to the brim,
Its more than just water, its mystic and bedim
As I sat, little bubbles started raising to the surface,
Probably trying to shake a hand with those sunrays
Only some make it to the top while the rest disappear during the course
Its probably more due to the belief in survival that any other force
A new lesson learnt, a new thought began
The tub never repeats anything during its span
Its water never remains the same
Just as the lives we lead always change
Now i'm out of the tub, looking very pale
The moisture on the face turned a little ale
I started coughing and gasping for breath
Seems like oxygen in this world is in dearth
"Finally you are out", greeted my people
Little did they know how i hate their babble
Life outside the water feels so bad
It took away all the intellections that i had
Its full of people with no thoughts and direction
Those who follow the chore, both in sense and in action
When solitude is all that my mind yearns,
There's nothing desirable than my little pond of observance !!!
PS : This is my first poem. So, please...please...be a little kind in your critisisms...TIA :)
Luv
