Poetry 2016 Longlist, Divya Garg

Infinity and Beyond

Intertwined and Entangled
In the futility of life
Running and chasing
For the living
Every day I woke up
With the clasped hands
And the waning sight of wishful dreams
Every night I sleep
With the realization
Of the lost minutes
Is this Life
Or is Life something beyond!
The developed embryo
Or the advanced Foetus
Has it taken the desired form?
Lost in the mediocrity
Soaring and Plummeting
In the rat-race
Mislaid myself
Scenic aesthetics
Whooshing into my veins
That pull me closer
Towards the ultimate reign
Reverberations of the whirling winds
Transcend me to the other horizon
And I merely wonder
Will I surrender myself
Or my existence.
And then just ponder
Is this Life
Or is Life something beyond!
