Intricacies of Brain

It was a shadow dark

I from my window mark

So true to reality

Boggled my mentality

As it sprinted away

Led me unintended astray

Mind under thick blanket

Entrapped spirit in a casket

Chasing this vision or dream

Stood at banks of a stream

Next a thickly clustered forest

Damp and deep my behest

Stepping in that mushy mess

Nothing seemed easy to excess

Slowly sank my soul to senses

Exposed am I without fences

In dilemma to further expedition

To satisfy minds inquisition

A step or two more

Till both agree no more

Throbbing louder than before

Deeply seated fear it bore

Treading towards an illusion

In a state of utter confusion

Just a little shaken determination

But quite broken with lamentation

Within me a conflict

What pain might inflict

Either to further or retreat

With horror my heart beat

A sound mind could contemplate

Loosen a net woven this intricate

Finding my way through dense green

Over hanging branches serving as a screen

Blocking my distant view

Till it very closer drew

Startled so always on edge

My delicate position as if on a ridge

As failing in this endeavor

Might become an end forever

Still pushing forward

And hushing coward

Spirits that might waver

At exact moment of favor

Hurrying on a giant leap

To grab that shadow deep

Unveil that mask

An uphill task

Yet that cloak in my grab

As I snatched so felt a stab

Eyes bulging with fear

At this attack from rear

Rolling down, my cheeks damp with tears

Loosened my grip with sorrow it bears

My heart cleft in twain

As dashed was my brain

My spirit flowed like those grains

When a bag is ripped off it drains

There lied that body mine

No more a possession mine

So I became a thing

So late this reality ring

What was that chase for

If it bore neither fruit nor

Shade to ease my wearied limbs

Rather buried under soil my ribs

But who am I to crib

As it slowly drib

Through veins once mine

Yet I picked among feathers fine

This fate thus brought on my door

I accept as unmoved spread on floor

It was a flash of lightning

That pierced thus brightening

Sky and silence of night

Broken by thunder’s might

So was I restored to my senses

Still by the side

Of window wide

Wondering with curiosity

Was it a peep of reality

That jolted so harshly my inner

So to pick carefully a little wiser

Overnight and comprehend better

Before plunging in complex matter
