Unruffled Silence

by Rajnimila

Like soundless and motionless ship

You harboured in front of me

And

I continued appealing to you

To take me to

Another edge of my life.

But

How meticulously you ignored

Each of my intense urges!

Silently

I thudded

Inside your ear

For the response.

Long awaited!

Seconds elapsed

Minutes….

Hours…

Days…Months

And Years passed by me

And

Unwearied am I

Simply because

I know

One day

You'll muster up

All motion and sound for me

Just like

The morning appears with

A sack of light

And

Takes the Sun to its west

Every day!
