Analysis of Inner self



Though my bones are talking
To leave me alone still
I am walking
Without being tired

Every step
I am holding tight on the road
And smelling the dirt
That rising above
From my foothold

I am pumping  my energy
With my senses and will
To spin my hopes and journey
Without bones and body
To feel the joy of life

Now I am with
Flicker delights
May my bones and body
Be with me or not
I am not worried

Decided I have
To die for soul
Not for my bones
Not for my body
Though I am dying
Every day with my bones and body

Let me float and melt
In the vastness of timeless blue
To touch its depth and
Kiss its golden dust

Let my body and bones free me
From the history of pains and anguish
Bless me to rise like a dust
My inner self now ready
With eternal pulse
To invade rest of my soul
