Let us converse with ourselves a new this day,

This the English version of my Old Hindi Poem

Let us converse with ourselves a new this day,
Come, let us speak once more,
With the soul forgotten within.
The cord, once severed,
Let us mend it henceforth.

Toil I did, forsaking mine own self,
In pursuit of dreams long cherished.
Yet, unbeknownst to me,
When did I lose myself?
And, for others, began to live.

In solitude this day,
The memory of my true self doth return.

So, come,
Let us converse once more,
The cord that hath broken,
Shall we not restore it again?

Let us shorten the distance ‘twixt the soul and self,
And speak again of dreams once dreamt.
This day, let us talk to ourselves anew,
The cord, once broken,
Shall be bound once more.
