My mind was like a forest

wild, thick and dense

full of mystery and suspense

covered by weeds of failures and problems

small, big and few blown out of proportion.

Struggled to survive my fears and thoughts

left without options, I fought

Yet, tired of my consistent efforts

walked deep into the lonely woods

as fast as I could .

Adamant and impetuous

trying to make my life adventurous

jumping and tumbling ,

hopping and limping

finally left wounded and trembling,
 on an unknown path and destination

isolating myself into the weird dreams.

Thorns of adversity pricked reality

and I realized my disability .

A coward killed the atheist within me ,

and a stranger to your magical proximity

 tried to seek your affinity!

When all hopes were broken to pieces

half dead and half buried

life encircling to a zero

Its then, you entered as my hero!

I submitted myself to your will

ready to die and be killed,

felt like a man with reputation lost

and character spilled  .

 You took me in your arms

with soothing words and devotion

as I explored anew feeling

allowing you to lead me

Setting my desires free,

Trusting your path I just followed

Learnt that ego can be swallowed

You filled up my life’s lacuna

Influencing me with your charisma,

guiding me to win the world

Yes, the world within!

 Now when I pass through the forest

the forest of my mind

It’s neither wild nor thick nor dense

for your divine touch guides my sense

and says

“O Arjuna , you are one in a million

 For krishna is, now your companion"
