Dissappear to dissolve

Disappear Like This

I must disappear like this
Flowing like a river,
Drifting like the wind,
Falling like a flower after its bloom.

Perhaps, to meet myself,
I too must keep moving
Softly, endlessly.

I must vanish, silently, silently...
Wrapped in emptiness,
An innocent night awakens in darkness.
Street lamps stand shameless, indifferent
By the roadside
Mute witnesses to the world’s forgetting.

Cigarette smoke scatters,
Dissolving into the cosmos
The cosmos itself
Absorbing all existence.

And while everything disappears,
I too must disappear.

Hail falls from the sky,
Melts into the womb of the earth.
The earth, quietly,
Cradles the sun’s burning flame
Within her depths.

So who am I?
The one searching for identity?
The one struggling
To find meaning in this world?

I must soothe the tides within me
With love
Not build my existence,
But feel it.

Perhaps now,
I must disappear
To awaken,
I must dissolve.

O world,
You keep on struggling through the ages
While I, in the womb of the cosmos,
Shed this sleeplessness
And awaken.

There comes a time when your place is impatient, wanting to see, feel and hear you... think you, this is the time? Your words are sincerely laid, they are words to return to and learn from, Sujan.
