Unforeseen, Untold!

Who knew yesterday

Where the road would lead

Some mighty force has decreed

That we’d be forced to frown today…

Never could find the words

That would overcome the boundaries

Of the heart,

How could one express the seamless feelings,

The love, the hurt,

When bounded by words.

Blind mute and clueless, I trudge on.

And I realize I’m not the only one.

Everyone keeps building boundaries.

Perimeters, so that their being lost would cease.

Limited by what can be seen only by the eyes,

Our imagination silently dries and dies.

I dream wonderful dreams

As solid as reality it seems.

All the happiness, all the screams,

Unravels at consciousness’s seams.

Bounded by money and laws,

We forgive our own flaws.

Forget what we held so dear,

We set our own goals,

Overlooking the resultant tolls,

Failure to achieve them is what we fear.

I took away all boundaries and borders.

In doing so, I set new ones unknowingly.

I find that whenever a norm alters,

My reality falters accordingly.
