RECLUSE

by SAHANA SUNDAR

In this fantastical world of dream,

There’s dream more than grief,

Wise men once said as you thinketh dear,

I soared high and lost all fear.

When somebody said to me, success is not the ultimate goal,

Thought and thought to find my life’s role.

Somebody told me there is no meaning to life,

I understood some of it b’cause I strive to be alive,

Maybe life is neither grief nor gleam,

Its only to be there whether storm or stream,

Life oh! life, there’s no purpose,

Thoroughly it’s time to relax and recluse..
