Vigil

By Rajani Kanth

Let not the

Idle mind

mentor

The secret

heart –

*

In its

sanctity

Let no

anarchy

Intrude –

*

When all

Fails

It will yet

Succor

the restive

current(s)

Of the

Splint’ring

Spirit

*

voyaging,

lost –

in a forlorn

world

where

water wraiths

wail

and

lone curlews

cry

*

In a

piteous

Wake

Of the

Lorn –

In Vigil

for Souls

About

to be

Born
