Unearthing Life 1

As you protrude your heart
in search of  affection , harmony
and  refuge ;
People  may often reject you once,
may be twice,
eventually thrice too.

But as you grow visibly "big",
meaningfully in some way,
the same group of people would very much
 love to be with you .
All on a sudden you become such a  pleasant company
for too many people,
that you feel like giving yourself pinches ,
time and again.

Very profound, enlightening, poem, Anand.
As hard as it is to try to practice...one should
Heed to their soul (intuition) rather than just their heart's wishes.
Your poem, well structured, speaks volumes of how
Trust should be earned, and the consequences of
The lesson you have to learn...if one keeps ignoring
Their inner voice eloquently.

Thank you for sharing! :))

A very realistic write. I can imagine a lot of people relating to this. It's amazing how people who one didn't want you in their life, end up wanting to be around you because others do. We are a strange race! (:

[Anand Sehgal]

Thank you so much dear Madalyn :) Yes, we are indeed strange, at times even erratic !

If you are not shaped for them you are an external body, when you are shaped for them, ship them out buddy I say, sorry for being rude, it is a genuine feeling at times , but not at at all a fan of rudeness, I may say remember those few with you always and treat them as gold, diamond or whichever precious way you can treat then, I can only treat them as Gold, sorry, enjoyed fully, so relevant and true

[Anand Sehgal]

It is perfectly okay dear :) you don't have to say sorry. Your words are very true and relevant :)

[Linda alexander]

Take care, at times it is good to spit the truth out at least in writing field, day to day life I won't
usually

[jacob erin-cilberto]

you put it so eloquently...often people don't notice us until others do...then they want to become a part of us...often i think to myself.."too late" as the Grassroots once sang "where were you when i needed you?"

[Anand Sehgal]

You are very kind in your comments , Jacob :) I am honored :)

[Basu Gupta]

Power always entices people, when you seem small even in your own mind, there's nowhere to go from there, intriguing piece Anand, I could take this one many places.

[Anand Sehgal]

I am honored Frieda , thank you so much dear :)

[Frieda P]

Pleasure was mine, I always love a piece that causes one to ponder. :)
