Two parallel roads of life;
A road of shortcuts,
Curtailing every hurdle, negating all that’s diffcult,
Road of quick gratifications,
Quickly satiating yet quickly forgotten,
Reaching the shores,
Something seems- left ‘Unexplored’
The long road is full of rubble, wait and struggle,
Yet, it promises, dreaminess of dreams untold,
Walking at it, I surrender to the whole;
Feeling pain and pleasure, all in my presence,
With unearthly practicality, I walk till I am worn,
No rewards, I can hold,
My cup is too small,
No fear of being fooled,
Not fooled, I am with, what seems,
Glitters never conveyed, what soul beseeched…
Knowing your wish,
Which road will I pick?
Not the road covered in jiff, with pleasure amidst,
Can’t leave lessons unravelled, for convenience of road easily travelled,
With courage and blessings, I walk where wisdom awaits,
Lessons falls on lap,
No rush to reach the gates,
Walking still, if I don’t see the end,
No glory of destination, I would sing, boast or tell,
Embracing it’s pace,
It was never a race,
I walk towards,
the bliss of eternity where endless love is a certainty;
For a journey that takes me to my ‘Home Unknown.’
