Awake

Updated: Apr 10, 2024

By M Santosh Kumar



A journey through the clouds; In a deep sleep; Dreams with pleasure and pain; Half awake at times; Yet the sleep continues…

Aircraft as the body; Engine as the mind; Pilot as the cosmic intelligence; Traveler as the soul; Entrapped inside the aerospace…

A no non-transient travel; Destination arrives; Casting off the airship; Unloading the engine; Rejuvenating at waiting lounge…



Next aircraft appears; Engine gets loaded; Pilot awaits, traveler boards; Journey to new destination; Entirely different co-passengers…

Getting off half way through, feasible? Shifting to another airplane, attainable? Swapping the engine, achievable? Changing the destination or path, imaginable? Temporal journey continues…

Puppetry happening since ages; AWAKE!!!

Illusion of endless loop essential?

Still asleep, O traveler…

Awake awake, O soul…

This poem's brilliant use of metaphors not only on its theme in a transcendent form but also leaves an impression on its readers. Keep writing Santosh.
