Identity...

Identity...

Identity... perceived so different , yet remains , the very essence of what one is... deep within... beneath the layers, the masks... behind, all that is apparent.... remains elusive...

"I am... ", "This is me"... so often said, and yet seldom understood...

Emotions, perceptions, thoughts, beliefs... they say, define one, but yet we wander , seeking ourselves, our true selves , in the name of finding our true identity....

One was , shall be, shall remain, all that one is , for the mirror that shall reflect my true self shall remain elusive , until sought...

The Mirror, that shall reflect ones true self... shall remain elusive, for apparent it shall not be.....

Like the desert mirage that eludes... follow shall one, the mirage seeking a reality of ones ownself....

Unquestioning eyes, Tingling giggles, Joyful mirth, Echoing silences, Soulful emotions, Unshed tears, Pristine beauty, Silent painting of divine ......shall reflect and echo, the very essence of self... awaiting to be heard and acknowledged.....

A lone reed, I stand.... as the divine creations, like a painting reflect , the colors of my soul......for in these reflections , I see , I hear, all I sought.. for now , I smile... back to the reflections..... as I whisper to the painter......."I see you.... for now I see myself...."....surrendering to this ecstatic realization....

Shiv Kapoor, seeks a identity, that has eluded him, unaware he walks, seeking a mirage , he knows not, yet he believes , it shall be his very identity, his true self... his true being.... his soul mate, who shall complete him.... for in her unquestioning eyes shall he find himself.... a mirror to his own soul... as he shall whisper back..."You complete me..."... for a part of each other they shall be ... an identity so incomplete with out eachother....

-Sareeta

- An attempt to understand , our search for our identity , in all we perceive , and in what and who we believe are our soulmates..

Dearest Reem, Those lines specifically highlighted and quote from my excerpt by you are the lines that sprang to my mind during my trip to Milford Sounds in New Zealand, earlier this year and those my true feelings , when I realized and I met myself...

When I imagined Shiv and his search for his identity , his pehchaan as he says.... I could but help, adding those lines... and sharing them with my friends here on the forum....

PS: Those lines , remain, quoted in the forward in my book...😉

Thanks a lot for enjoying the post! I finally could take sometime to pen down the lines... Vacation it is, but I do try to pen my thoughts when possible!! 😊

Thank you sooooooooooooo much Rashi!!! Yeah its been a while since I posted something on the forum, am on a vacation, but when I get access to the net, I do post in my thoughts.

THis post is the closest to my heart , for more than jus relating it a character, it is my own search and my understanding of how I found myself and all I understand of ... the word... Identity... "Pehchaan..." as they say....

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

beautiful poem Sareeta & after a long time too.
