I reach out my hand. <br />To feel the clouded emptiness. <br />And grasp the clefts of a void. <br />Fighting struggling and writhing in pain. <br />To get a grip on the rails of life. <br />I realize that the more I hold. <br />The lesser I'm in control. <br />The more I rush. <br />The slower I move. <br />Losing nerve. <br />Breaking calm. <br />The more I wish. <br />The lesser I get. <br />And so I walk slow. <br />Ambling gracefully. <br />Loosen my hair. <br />Breathe the air. <br />Only to realize. <br />That what I lost on the way...was LIFE! ! !<br /><br />Rishi Kaul<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/void-65/
