Thoughts from Atop Your PedestalA Poem by Deepa RagunathanWhat you see in your idol is but a reflection of yourself.
The world is spinning fast,
Life is a blur, one giant streak. I don't know how long I'll last, My head is light, and I feel weak. The world spins faster now, Just as I found some balance. I might soar like a free dove, If I let go, gave chaos a chance. My hands clutch the ropes, My nails cling to last straws. Sometime in future, someone mopes, Mourning this tragic loss. But for now, I am soaring, A last flight of freedom. My life might have been boring, But in my mind, i ruled a kingdom. I spin slower now, fainter, World stands still for just me. Time stops as I pose for a painter, Someone who sees me a comet over sea. If only those eyes saw closer, Saw the sea beneath that light, If only they saw my answer- I was water, reflecting something bright. © 2016 Deepa RagunathanAuthor's Note
