Earth

Earth- a word so complete in itself! Like the earth , we are also made up of layers- the crust of our outer appearence covering the  raw, molten core of our souls.

Layers, have defined us from times immemorial and many such layers are visible but some possess the incredulity of silent existence too. Pick up history, layers transcends to eras, periods and so forth ; simple or complex happenings of our lives? "Process/ Phenomena" word replaces layers here. Even as you are reading this, the eyes- it is also composed of layers too and how you comprehend or feel things also traverses through layers of understanding, feelings etc. Every analysis, thought, beat , in short everything encompasses layers!

An interesting property is possessed by these layers- how they give us the control to view them from a certain angle! Going deeper to reveal through them or reach up out there by traversing to the outermost layer... Does that ring a bell? Frankly, it sounds the gong to me! Whenever I have felt down  , when situations were against ,during the rough patches , there's always been a forked path in front of me- whether I explore the deep , dark path of exploring my layers to the core or I opt for a temporary escape and utilise it to fuel my damp coals of pursuit of life! (Psycho)logically, The latter has seen a  tendency that moving away can result in moving ahead but every time it would be the same, is a foolish pursuit! That's a complex stuff I admit , because if I know that I have to burn myself in a fire which has the ability to char a part of me and its scars won't receive the tender care anytime soon , it really is a tough decision to make! Therefore sometimes, the dark bylanes seem a better escapade. And there it paints a trick on the onlooker- what might seem a straight path initially is actually a labyrinth! A labyrinth which explores the layers inside by going deeper and farther, sometimes farther enough to drift away from everything around us, leaving us to explore our dark layers.

Like the earth, we also possess layers to our very existence. The crust though tries to endure as much within its capacity yet there are these cracks which are vulnerable enough to peek through a glimpse of the molten core of soul. Most of us are afraid to.....
