A Sojourn
A Sojourn
Close your eyes for some moments
For the sight blurred your inner vision
You despised width, length and height
A symmetrical urge wilted sense of life.
Close your eyes for some moments
For the sight colored your soul much
You ceased to touch heart and mind
A melanin measure altered face of life.
Close your eyes for some moments
For the sight stirred your mind wild
You twisted smiles playing on the face
A naïve move triggered storms in life.
Close your eyes for some moments
For the sight whacked your heart hard
You wandered in the mazes of love
A mere glance ruined castles of life.
Close your eyes for some moments
For the sight withered your conscience
You blamed suave curves and fissures
A sudden kink crashed the flow of life.
Close your eyes for some moments
For the sight robbed your psyche bad
You created nightmares out of images
A mere look changed all essence of life.
Now taste the life and forget all forms
Hear that every word rushes to kiss you
Smell the nature and each being with love
Touch the earth down and things around.
Sleep and dream the things you touched
Words you heard and the food you tasted
Smooth skin you felt and scintillating smell
A sojourn of sight will incite flavor of life.

Awww, that was just beautiful work, my friend, a pleasure to read and savor.
Oh to quiet the mind of that most omnipotent of senses. To take the time to allow other beauty to permeate our being is such a blessing. What a marvelous and touching piece. Thank you.

Yes, Eric, sight is such a wonderful gift of life, but our other senses are no less potent. Sometimes what we see and interpret becomes the cause of unease , then the sight really needs an emergency break.
You have beautifully summed it up that we must harness our other powerful senses also. Thanks for your kind visit and such generous and insightful words.
Wonderful poetry Harish. Yes, we all need to close our eyes from time to time and savour the wonder of life with our other senses. Voted up.

Thank you very much, dear Venkatachari M. Glad that you liked this poem. Thanks for appreciating it and for voting also.
I closed my eyes only I could not read the verse, lol. Just kidding. I fell in love at my HS prom and closed my eyes to love since. I closed my eyes to my psyche and never had nightmares - only occasional dreams. It was beautiful Harish, I voted it up, shared and pinned it.

Kevin, I got it, you closed eyes and both of us got a good laugh... Lol. Glad that you liked it. It just occurred to me how our viewing the world arouse so many perceptions, some misplaced ones, in our mind. Only if we could avoid insensitiveness, apathy and bias out of our sight, the life would be more brighter ! Just a thought, and no doubt, sight is a great boon and we must cherish and harness it to the maximum. I appreciate your visiting this hub, commenting so beautifully. Thanks for voting and sharing.
An inner journey, oh how much this is needed! Sweet and meaningful poem.
