In dodo's head

Oh Imphal, how you hold me captive to your green hills and enveloping skies..

Flowery intricate garlands of words, they hide, All that is not revealed. For could we really have found, Intricate enough words to wrap emotions in. Isn't it strange to find, How many emotions that brew, In the depths of our brains. And yet almost, in our finger tips we can  count, The identified expressions and feels. What about the cocktails of emotions, Those which belong not, In the rigid compartments we have created. What of those we feel, Which we cannot express to, A soul in the world.

Rise up from the cobwebs and the drudgery, Peep from the dark side, See how brightly lit the world is. Life is unfair, Life is tiring, Life deceives us from time to time, Leaves us with the illusion of being all alone. But look beside you, around you. We are all walking the same way. Reach out, reach in, I promise you, solace you will find. Don't let life break you down, Instead face it as a challenge, Happiness abound I promise.
