U - Unseen....Unheard

 



When the sky had turned an ashen grey
and the clouds had thundered
with their silvery streaks
I crouched there
as one among them
but, unseen....unheard

When the rivulets thronged along hastened
and chased one another 
as always, in a fever pitch
I crouched there
as one among them
but, unseen.... unheard

When the tears welled up bundling 
the muted emotions together 
into a silent stream
I crouched there
as one among them
but, unseen.... unheard

When the morning mist gathered
like glistening pearls
on the earthen world
I crouched there
as one among them
but, unseen.... unheard

And finally, when the day came
that I let go....embracing myself 
as the drop that I was
I caught the glint 
of that universe
unseen and unheard of

A wonderful refrain - I crouched there
as one among them
but, unseen.... unheard,
until the poem end on highly philosophical note.

Much is unseen and unheard.
We are yet to experience the mysteries of our universe...
