In the night angels descend
Frustration
Really infiltrating the life
With its venomous intentions;
How sweet my silence was
like vacuum once
What a roaring voice is mine
Like that of lion;
What an enjoyment with these
Love, Knowledge, Intellectual
Home, Office, Work, Society;
I lost nothing essentially
A little which has lost its prey
Is perverse and is haunting me
now with its weapon;
How beautiful are those
Sleep, Dreams, Thoughts
Life and Death
All are insidiously frustrating;
Psychiatry, Evaluations
Counseling and Therapy
Are not exceptions?
I meditated and probed into me
And found nothing that is dwelling in me
Causing this entire affliction;
How happy it was being lonely
The solitude I was accustomed
Is isolating me in frustration
No hope becomes visible to escape;
One day time I ran into night
The night in open arena having no windows
And in the night angels descend;
The daylight is washing my life
Also washing darkness inside of me
And held me in its lap;
Life singing the hymn of peace
The devil seen burnt in the glow
Done away the frustration too;
I don’t trust in magic
But ought to trust the miracles
Else, my life again would be hell.
