This road goes
somewhere, I think and so do you
This sky is limitless
and so is the time that brews
your grief, your
sins, your joy, your deeds
in all those hours
that you spent in those pits and at cliffs
You know that you
know nothing
And you know that the
true may not even exist
You’ve seen
everything and yet nothing
So you try to recall
and try to dig
You then find a trunk
of treasure and gifts, cheers and spit
and those moments
that had lasted few seconds,
your hopes and fears
that have both throbbed and numbed
You were confident
but you don’t know what to believe
You’re tired, you’re
torn, you’re in company and yet forlorn
But if I open the
doors to the white beaches and blue seas
I know you’ll run
towards it with open heart, and free legs and arms
I know it’s just
under a layer of dust, your yearn, not torn
In your heart, yes
you have a heart, no matter how you are
you carry the energy
of life, the sanctity of death
the whispers of
eternity, the echoes of your breath
You may not realise
what has been seen by your eyes
the ugliness of
heinous brutality,
the vividness of
kindness and generosity
You may not realise
when the blink of your eyes took a longer time
and you missed the
drops of reality
that would have
livened up the essence of you and your life
The pastures are
still green somewhere down this road
that you and I have
taken up to explore
the unseen, the
unknown, the beauty that we wish to hope
that is still there,
not murdered, not raped
and lies naked and
clothed at its own wish, with pride and dreams unfettered
where you and I will
not step back or fear
But with our eyes
squinched, we’ll pause in awe from distance to see
the beauty that is to
be loved and not conquered,
before we move ahead
feeling blessed and in bliss
Remember that we may
know nothing, but we know to hope
We may not have the
map, but we know there’s the road..
Life goes on. For
those who are feeling pathetic about the inhuman incidents that our minds are
repeatedly horrified with, I want to say, that we have to keep moving towards
the light, howsoever distant it may be; that we have to keep striving to make
our lives better.
