BALANCED LIFE
R. SUNDARESAN
night shrouds itself with
deathly silence
and under its mesmerising shadow
we are led to the bed of
dreams;
like a psychiatric test
our subconsciousness
is unlocked
exposing suppressed wishes
to give relief
from cruel truths;
from reality to illusions,
from control to full freedom
and back;
herein lies the balance in life.
