A stranger: A poem by Preeti S Manaktala
 On a quest to search you—   many questions still remain unanswered.  You, a stranger, an enigma and mystical.   I wonder who you really are?   Not again, don’t step into my thoughts.  Shall I let go of my quest, as you seem too far.  You stir my being, question my journey.  I long to touch you, you the stranger!    Shall I seek you through the Northern lights?  Or see your light in the Fireflies?   Experience your wrath in the Volcanoes   Or your myriad colors through a Rainbow!    You are inaccessible like Moon the stars.   Folklore says I must tread Mount Kailash.  Crying and yelling, I even searched for you on my dad's funeral.  But now, I find you everywhere!!   I feel you in the raindrops.  I feel you in the breeze.  I feel you through the sun rays.  When I close my eyes in ecstasy,  I, finally feel you within me...!
