In an unknown land
I ,a stranger
Walked in
Eager
In an unknown land
I, a stranger
Believed
Cherished
In an unknown land
I, a stranger
Beguiled
Disillusioned
In an unknown land
I, a traveler
You, a passerby

So powerful! Is that unknown land the inner self Smitha? Getting acquainted with self too is a journey that is taken only in the realms of solitude, self-discovery is enlightening. 🙂

Thank you so much. When I re-look at the poem thinking of the inner self as ‘the unknown land,’ it transforms into a deeper meaning. This is when the reader provides another dimension and thereby adds more value to a writer’s words. Thank you!

I’m not sure if it was a comfort zone or just one that felt like a cage. But thank you so much for your encouraging comments.

And yet, you broke it open, which is what matters. Cages can be golden, but that doesn’t make it less of a cage.
I should say you are the one who is teaching here and inspiring us to break open our cocoons or cages or boundaries. Thank you Madam for sharing..!! 🙂
by the way, I am awaiting your feedback on a recent post of mine, dealing with similar theme.. fingers crossed..
