And the Quest Continues...

And the Quest continues...

                                                    ~ Srikant Rao

Mind seeks the occult, the unknown

Always follows the enigma

‘Run of the mill’ simply passé

Anything not unique – a stigma

Such a quest is heavily intoxicating

A heady mix of excitement and anxiety

An uphill task finding that one door

Before having to open enough that is filthy and dirty

The feeling of pure ecstasy at arrival

Simply surpasses the arduous journey

Mind seeks the occult, the unknown

Always following the enigma

And the quest continues...

Unleash your Potential!!!

Unleash Your Potential!

~ Srikant Rao

A walk down memory lane ala time travel

Where the feet feels no tar, grass or gravel

The next moment holding a conversation

Can’t place any context, relevance or juxtaposition

A few continents across, awed by a visual treat

Short-lived experience with no traces of cold or heat

Running down a narrow alley, dark and scary

Chased by a monster, hoping to be rescued by a fairy

Standing on a podium, receiving an award

Unaware of the feat that deserved the reward

Seamless travel through places, time and emotions

Without a dime, card or currency of any denomination

Emergence of an unseen pit, sliding down deep into the rabbit hole

Found myself on the other side with eyes wide open as if I just hit a pole

Our mind can do wonders – Alas! Freedom is availed only when we’re fast

asleep

It’s caged and chained with our prejudices and preconceived notions when

awake... weep!
