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.
