Shishir

Friday, November 6, 2020

He

is the curious amalgam of 

spoken words and silences,

congregation of woes and laughter,

the depth not yet conquered

not measured, yet feared.

He

is the solitary lamp on hilltop,

brightening the vast stretch of land in dark

yet his eyes

just stares past his peripherals

seeking the hidden treasures beyond.

He

is the wordsmith of his own kind

churns out gold even without trying

yet he sees not the pull

and marks his void through and through.

He 

is the winter of different sort

frozen exterior with a warm heart.

The ice he projects, is jitter not shame

He is a definite anomaly

of his given name.

The meaning of the name Shishir is winter in Nepali. This is about a guy I know, someone whom I consider family.
