Speaking Silence Poem by Ramesh Joshi

Day of time it was night, I awoke
Started looking round what it was
Saw the beaming face smiling before
silent mood speak words never heard.

I am your inner self, eternal witness
Sole lone companion in your solitary
Journey unmasking dark deeds done
Docking in guilty state that ever hide.

I know dark deeds you try hard hide,
you thought and did practice, preach,
broke hearts, conspire, committed
omission and commission betrayed.

The waste land, hollow, within know
know secret except, no better self.
Dark Trojan horse, Lady Macbeth,
Othello-Hamlet, combine dormant lie.

Oasis, strength, weakness gain ground,
Ascend ladder, Spiritual path, often derail,
Boostcongenial substance, crown glory, attain
Be true to self, humble in path, progress push.
