Truth

by Vijay Nath

Groping in the dark for
something to hold on
to stand up and face
the ghosts of the past

Where are my dreams and
hopes on which I built my strength
and where are my near and dear
ones on whom I placed my faith

No one is around except the
silence and nothing is there
other than the darkness -
and I can feel the impounding silence

Is it a laughter or shout which
reverberates in my brain, is it a sound
or sonata which pierces my mind
whatever it is, it has made the impact

It took me a life to understand
the meaning of it and it costs me
my life to grasp the worth and truth that
there is no one except me in my life.
