My version of The Phoenix..

Muse

An experiment with melted Crayons ... the melted drippings acquired a life of their own. An unintended face appeared . Enjoyed the process thoroughly!

Abstract

Derailed

 

The shiny tracks were all

Set for me to jump

On with steely wheels

And cruise towards my

Predestined …

 

The path was conveniently

Laid to greatness

No effort expected

Just  measured steps

There was absolutely

No chance of a miss

I was on the predictable

Road to bliss…

 

I was almost yawning

Towards certainity

And out of arrogance

Or perhaps ignorance

I decided to jump off

This bored easy existence

 

And lo and behold

I derailed

People think I

Failed…

 

I now sit aside watch

 Other’s steely wheels

On predictable paths

Race towards the predestined

 

While I lie derailed

Listening to a bird

Watching a bee

Letting a creeper

Grow over me …

I sneeze staring

At the sun..

I freeze under

The sudden snow…

 

I feel it thaw

I taste the glow

I have certainly

Failed

And I am deeply

Derailed…

 

But do I miss the

Predictble …

 

Oh I have sailed

To another world

Where everyday

Comes with a surprise

The meanings of words

And silence bind with

an honest thread

And this simple life

 

I shall continue to tread

 

 

Far beyond the understanding

Of this uncomplicated world ..

They think I have failed

But I am just happily derailed..
