Time To Cross Over



I remind myself again and again
This is the last leg of the journey 
Decide what you have to pack or unpack

Bitterness ? sadness ? Emptyness ? Loneliness?

Or 

Those rare moments of clarity ? Untinted joy ? 
Unabashed realisations? 
Serendipitous revelations ? 

That life is/was worth living 

(Though not always 
Yet...)

Bounties abound 
The shelter of the sky
The fragrance of the untimely blooms
The lushness of the cluster of leaves
The chiffon breeze
The whispering branches of the trees

My breath mingling
With my dreams
They say there is a sacred space inbetween 
Where you grow abundantly 
Have I done that ?

There is still time
Still a chain of breath alive 
To pour out the poison within
Fill up the lungs with blessings
Cleanse the soul
Before  moving  on
To that white space of dreamy existence 

Let past be past 
And unbox what I have kept hidden
A very long time
Cherished rather
The darkness  imagined as light
Which propelled me to zones of grief
Starkness of thoughts 
Madness of impulses

The cursed gifts of life
Were they really ?

Or 

Did I presume them to be ?

Aha! It's not the hour to
Seek what I lost myself in

It's rather time to prepare
For the cross over destined
Lures across the threshold 
The only quest that lurks

Shouldn't I travel light ?
