THE PENDULUM

To escape the monotony
of daily existence
to escape the hustle and bustle
of city life
far away from the
maddling crowd,
I escape to the
shell of musical silence.
There’re times when
even musical silence
bores me to death
I escape to the hustle
and bustle of the city
to the madding crowd
mingle with them
and enjoy the wild music
of the ever vibrant, noisy city
and make merry.
In between the two
worlds of musical silence
and wild music
my life flows uninterrupted.
The pendulum of my existence
oscillates between the twin
worlds of musical silence
and wild music of the city.
