Trance

Distance threads separation,

embroiders loneliness

in silken stitches of helplessness.

Sliver a soul from its shadow forever

Pearls of emptiness scatter,

colours segregate in hues through prism

the ultimate white finds reason

to shred the darkness dazzling in star.

Remoteness shimmers like mirages,

detached stars descend from heaven

measuring distance throughout ages.

What is isolation

when every particle of solitude

disperse in seclusion

and unite

to produce ultimate white?

Morning evades night;

every breath absorbs darkness

to breathe the dawn afar.

Evening turns darker,

life continues to grow shorter,

shadows disappear

and get smudged in the wayside dust

every tomorrow breathes its last.

Distance between us is chained

with the heavy shackles of empty time;

lost moments spread through moonlight

as flakes of silent snow

descend throughout the night,

the next morning rests in the green forest

peacefully in blank white,

doused stars no more smoulder bright.
