The path I follow….is lit with moonbeam
Surrounding area is filled with darkness
But the path I can see clear
On horizon, mist is settled
Many have been on this path
Only few could make it through
I will be one of the few
‘Coz the path I follow is lit with moonbeam
The path I follow is lit for me.
Do you get second chance in life?
A second chance to do it all over again
Sans fear Sans anxiety
Sans spec of dirt collected on memory
.
If we do let’s make our aims befitting
Because I have already created a beautiful frame
Now all I need is befitting image
Miracles happen I have heard about them too
This would be my miracle if my dreams come true
When the morning light hits
and time slits, tired eyes flutter open
Ready for another day; same old routine
Mellow life chaotic mind ready to explode
Acting benign…
In their paradigm I suffer the loss of outsider
Working hard to find but they test my character
Interrogating into manipulative destruction
Fall now,not I, move my feet on set path
I have a goal and a dream
not bent to be your slave, stereotypical fella!
If destiny conspires I’ll become my wish
If thoughts are on fire I will find nirvana within
Not damsel to be played , not a trickster to fiend with
Seldom you seek but not a story of Matilda
But If the shoe fits …I’ll become Cinderella
On a train ride towards a child’s dream,
I sat by the window searching for shadow in whimsical leak
Came through the door an old woman with naive glee
I was stupefied so was the girl next to me
You see the woman was not ordinary
Her chocolate coloured skin was wrinkled, I agree
Her hunched shoulders and wavered walk was time-weary, i agree
However she was not carrying world on her shoulder but living the world
Don’t you see, Don’t you agree, How different she is
Girl next to me was mesmerised by her so she asked “So radiant. How old is you?”
“Only 80.” was her sassy reply.
A beret hat, red jeans and bling’d poncho she wore
And she was telling her “Only 80” as if there is lifetime and more
In the end I smiled and then pondered can it be my truth too
Can I be happier with time passing and lifetime to go?
What is on your mind that is heavy to your heart?
The scar on your soul that is an itch to your conscience
Darling! I warned you this is road less travelled
You cannot hope your home will be at every other station
The indefinite search for a purpose
The infinite thirst without a reason
Settle in! They told you to be
Figuring out you were just gambling
Darling! I warned you the road is less travelled
Like a dog you cannot whine for love
Like a lion you cannot climb to the top
Settle in! They told you to be
Figuring out you were still gambling
Navigating and finding then lost at the start
Blushing and harrumphing you are pushing through dark
In the end you join your hands and settle to pray
Darling! I warned you the road is less travelled
One is enough for you to yield and stay.
(i)
When everything is bleak and you fall asleep,
In night inside a wagon by the window seat,
A sudden lurch wakes you to a screech and a gasp,
Bewildered eyes look up at sparkling heavens,
The majestic night and stardust with it’s magical lustre,
I am spell bound a cut is closed through times suture
(ii)
A benign being ready to leave
To place before she has never seen
With a thank you and smile she greets strangers
Ready to fly across the land to newest adventure
Not knowing her fate with hopeful eyes
She is on magical carpet over charcoal sky
A little wounded nevermind, riding with hope so high
She see gleaming trinkets over silver clouds
A story of her magical flight
(iii)
A blink of an eye a starry light
A gleaming light gone with blink of an eye
Miracle it is, I saw a shooting star when least expected
Hopeful again my heartbeat has escalated
Kyu(Why) the question living in my dreams
I wished upon a star the dream would come to me
Hiking at Mt. Ida,Rocky Mountain National Park
Right now all I can think of how everything will change
My thoughts, the view, the people and their beliefs
My whole world will take 180 degree turn
Even though I’m still standing on even ground
