In the Woods

Posted on by Reena Saxena

the soulless table
the chair that carries my physical weight
darkness that can be easily replaced
by fluorescence
cannot do much
to pull me out of the woods

It takes a mental window
to take me where I want to be
offer a glimpse of the possible.
Travel without passports
makes me feel weightless
and free

So what if it is
brief like life
unreal like poetry
uncertain like astrology
I discover the meaning of life
in moving away from it

  6. I love your original approach to the prompt, Reena, and the way you took the moody image, ‘the soulless table’, ‘the chair that carries my physical weight’ and the window, and ran with it, into the mental woods. These lines resonated with me:

    ‘So what if it is
    brief like life
    unreal like poetry
    uncertain like astrology
    I discover the meaning of life
    in moving away from it.’
