Magnum Opus
---------------

Backstaged by destiny
trying hard to get glimpses
Of the shadows ruling the stage,
and to listen to the distant clappings


Pondering on the differences
Where i lose and they win
trying hard to break the formulae
of luck , grace, probability and fate

My breath , my heartbeat
All yelling the same talent


Neither the crowd
nor the admiring faces
neither the thunderous appreciations
Nor the temptation of success

Lost in the struggle
of arguing with destiny
and fighting the mysterious pull
which makes me crave to steal the centerstage



All of a sudden
the curtains part
spotlight on me
-Just me and my shadow

All my elements unite
--like a waterfall,
or a sudden avalanche,
like an unannounced thunderstorm,
or a wild fire.

Art takes over me
'I ' is lost
The stage set on fire
by the 'masterpiece'

and they say "your time has come"!!
