Living in the breath

By Poonam Gundecha

Somewhere in Himalayas,
Feet touching freezing cold water,
Shivering every inch of my existence,
Eyes gauging the expanse,
For mind’s reach is ever so vast!

Somewhere at the brink of lake and glacier,
The softness and rawness of nature,
Calming the soul and mending the mind,
Amours with life’s happiness and bruises,
For giving up is something I refuse!

Somewhere in solitude,
Melting the need,
Of knowing everything,
Surrendering to the romance
Of idea and the purpose of being!

Somewhere far in wilderness,
Finding my peace,
safely folded under the skin
Devoid of all my wants,
For not all wanderers are lost!
