A Silent Confession

Word, spoken out of context,
and stone aimed at an enemy
would do equal harm.
But, which one do more?
The word or the stone?
Perhaps, the word; I felt.
Why?
The word unintended
would bleed one’s heart.
Since medicines can heal wounds
on one’s body, stone would do less harm.
But, heart remains bled
until soothing words turn to it.
I was caught, many times, by
hearts bleeding and words glaring at me.
I knew, I was the culprit
and thus felt like loosing my strength.
I sat meditating with a secret wish
of getting my figure lost
and be vanished into thin air.
Struggling to fight with the darkness around,
I dreamt of my words reaching wounded hearts.
But, the self sitting inside, ask me now,
Would these hearts ever turn to me?

  3. There are such subtle things in life....driving us deeper into a rainforest....... but only to find a pure stream of selflessness and the discovery of an untrodden path...
