Unconscious

Unconscious

By Rajul Tiwari

Walking a tight rope in space,
It felt like a need to be a part of this race...
I was surrounded by nothingness and silence,
still felt a powerful guiding divine presence...

I felt light and spirited still wasn't confident to step up,
I had been till now following the golden lace...
which ended here and now, here is this rope,
I am in awe as I witness the vastness of Universe in grace...

All in motion, silently following what it was designed to do,
only thing which was overwhelmed and stationary was me...
Trembling with fear, I take a step forward but No!!
"HELPPP!!" I scream, and a hand gently held me...

There was a yellow shining planet on the other end,
But a voice told me,"You are not yet ready to ascend"
and unwillingly, I took a backward bend...
I sled down the aerial slope, broke through lighted crescent....

I could hear the wails of a newly born somewhere,
I could feel a force of calling...
I kept falling like a shooting star, till I reached here,
and my heart pained, I felt gush of warm blood rolling...

Opened my wet lashes, which looked like the same room,
Doctor held a baby boy in her hands...
So, it was he who was bonding, he who got me back from doom,
Doctor sweated as she was sure that I broke my breath-bands...

I fondled the little bundle and at once, it stopped crying,
he looked at me and I felt love, similar overwhelming...
I felt all my fear, all my struggle drying,
I felt like a new body, new soul, new being...

This magical celestial body brought me back,
this little enigma wanted me to tend to him...
He didn't only need my warm sac,
but also my heart-beats to send to him...

I named him after Pole Star as to what it brought-
a direction to my life, a life to my "self"...
A meaning to the conscious he taught,
and a journey through the unconscious self!
