Living Closely – A Poem from Nepal
Sushant Thapa, a poet based in Biratnagar, Nepal, shares his poem.
Like an escapist
I do not want to remain mute
I do not want to go blank
I wrote my future is red!
Living Closely
Like an escapist
I do not want to remain mute
I do not want to go blank
I wrote my future is red
And did not give any explanations
It surely means it is a part
Of a magic-revolution in the making
The burning mantle of expression
Is my torch to clearly see the path!
In beautiful scars
My abstraction is philosophized.
I splash a fulfilling tiny drop of my life
And urge you to do the same.
The seeking prayers are teaching you
First to accept your own belief
You may also step forward to value
The universal segment of other acceptances
The answers you own is the marker
Of passion and contentment
There is strength in time
There is a solace in living.
Faraway the distance is still seen.
Closely the memories are still read.
