#NaPoWriMo2023 : DAY 30

 

Please don’t ask me why do I write,

join me in my expedition

of exploring words and rhythms

and you will know

beyond horizons of lyrical world,

there’s a small galaxy

I created it on my own.

There are clouds,

of thoughts and experiences,

analysis and consequences,

there’s stillness,

like water and patience,

faith and complacence,

there’s fire,

on the nerves and veins,

vivid mountains and planes,

and then there’s me,

resting in the firefly-lit summer night

carefree and quiet.

And still if you ask me,

why do I write,

I will show my ways

of dawn and dusky days

where I paint people and rainbows

on a literary canvas.

I breathe, see and feel

through alphabets,

where screen connects

to virtual galaxies

of love and friendships,

reminding little packets of gossips

scattered on my balcony.

But please don’t ask me

why do I write,

instead read my mind

between the lines

and come to me,

for feedback and suggestions,

and we will talk for ages, 

just like I do with my pen.
