Food, Drape and Home (Footnote)


For almost every blogger writing is pious. And for many it is one of the basic needs, just like food, clothing and shelter. When our mind is in a state of nothingness, it serves as food. When feel alone in difficult situations, it shelters us. And when we are alone, we get warmth my penning our thoughts.

What do you think, is writing something basic to you OR something divine? Do share :)

Love,
Saru

  1. I loved your lines...and Specially the lines...

    "Writing serves my appetite, Writing is my food."
    "Draped semi-clad body in poetry and prose."
    "Writing shelters my body, Writing is my home."

    really projecting what writing means for a writer...and i think its not something basic or something divine...It is something beyond both of them for which words will always be less....

    1. Just a beautiful and mystic thought. Writing is everything and writing is powerful, I would say :)

  2. Yes, penning down our thoughts does give us a feeling of solace and satisfaction. Sometimes, it's the satisfaction for emptiness. Emptiness of our insecurities, distress and woes. And sometimes, it's the satisfaction for the gayness that existed somewhere in the past or is existing at present in our life.
    Stay healthy :)
    Stay blessed :)

    1. For me it is more of emptying my emotions into it. I feel light and happy, as if I had a conversation with someone. :)

  3. You said it perfectly. I can totally relate to every word. I'm still amazed at how well you convey so much meaning in so few words (no pun intended *wink*).

    1. You know this is the only poem till date which was difficult to cut short, I thought of writing an article to present my thoughts in a better way but somehow completed it. BTW, writing a poem is simple otherwise, write few lines and make them rhyme :D

  4. For me, writing is everything. I can sacrifice anything (and I have) for writing more and more... But everyday it's a new learning. The world of words still make me feel like a toddler!!

  5. I am by nature shy and introvert, so writing helps me to convey my thoughts easily...:) It's one of the best things that has happened to me, when I started writing...:) It's divine to me..:)
