(Based on a film of the same title)
I see you, sometimes falling down a cliff
and then, flying above the ridge. Life always
was a knife’s edge, and the act of striking the hot iron,
between fantasy and fact; figment and fractal infinity!
A dream of memories breaks you into a cold sweat,
and suddenly, you wake to suffocate in momentary
convulsions, until you get your bearings. The pain and
panic catches you till you free yourself with fearlessness!
There is a perpendicular, protracted savagery to get you
on your fours. Inveiglement, chicanery, intimidation….
Honey trap, treachery, connivance between one or more evils…
It is relentless, but you are not cut out to retract! You are simply
aware of the warrior you are since the secrets at birth. You
temper the dreams with conviction, your history, brought upon you
like new days and new births immersed in starlight of memories
that shimmer of different honest tales. How the stars talk of distant
memories brought unto you?! How many childhoods have
you witnessed?, How many adulthoods? How much wizened old
age and how much death? Each strand tugging you like a
puppet on strings. And you feel certain you have your own mind
out of all the heartache of tragedy that beset you in one form
or the other. And you know your true love, your loyalties,your righteous
aspirations, your integrity, honour, dignity, intrepidity, like crystalline flakes
falling upon you and filling your turf with the soldiery of absolute
blankets of wisdom. You choose to see where none can see, you choose to
walk where none dare walk! And it is still only the immense light coming from within you!
