Castaway

by Dr. Jaipal Singh



Years ago His ship wrecked, Castaway In his solitude In a constant struggle With the loneliness He is still engaged With the wreckage... Mending it Repairing it Fabricating it To a credible Navigable device With a hope to reach The mainland Someday...! Nevertheless To be, Or not to be, Remains the dilemma... If only His loved one Still longs for and accepts... The unbridgeable gap Of time, space and age! ('To be, or not to be' is one of the most famous literary quotations from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet)

Yes, I agree, Rupradha Ji, few years back I had seen it on TV. Basic human emotions and feelings remain same and could be counted in numbers. Hence when you write in text or verse, many things you find, are just coincidental and, of course, sometimes inspired. But at times, real life incidents and experiences are for more fascinating and/or excruciating too.

Thanks for compliments..
