Company

When the heaviness of the heart sets in
When silence grows so loud it deafens the ears
And the pain buried within suffices;

Then, all reiterated depression forms
a gravitational ball
And pulls the soul-  
into whatever darkness it is capable of imagining..
 
Look then!  

how fast I seek the company of one-
Who, on recognising my sorrow  
offers me consolation.
Or how I, with vigour
give ear to a gathering of men
Talking- vanity and worldly joys in corners--
From which a certain level of comfort I attain.
 
Look then again!  

How quickly the company I found
Like a flock of birds- flies away..

And how swiftly
the handful of comfort I grabbed
Disperses
Like sand in wind.
