Transition to Infinity

Posted on by Reena Saxena

disorientation
-mild term to describe
waking up in a different world, stepping
on different ground
aligning to rare light

A child of darkness knows
the depth of nights
This transparent sheath reveals my only soul
There’s no face or mask
to show identity

Countless dimensions show
measurements on fire
I’m trapped in a closed space called infinity.
yearn for freedom in
ascertainable worlds

  18. Poetry is so beautiful! Consistently inspiring. I think I’m going to take a cue from you and start playing with other poetic forms.
