JOURNEY

“Lead yourself from the unreal to the ultimate truth, from the darkness of your mind to a world of light and from the death of ignorance to the immortality of knowledge. Transform your thoughts into actions and make your journey a pleasurable route to a blessed destiny.”

Lies in our subconscious the divination

Of an idyllic world, enamored by infantile chastity

Of the shepherd hearing his lamb’s tender reply

While grazing the folks in the sojourn mountains and valleys.

This happens to be the halcyon harbour

Of an unknown journey to a strange new destination

With a concupiscence to achieve the extremity

Intellect becomes oblivious to the satiety of the peregrination.

Childhood diffuses the beam of the morrow

Leaving fond impression of bygone memories

Unforeseeable fortune should not be the barricade

To disrupt the harmony of the manifold tunes or be the cause for worries.

A material youth juggles with interrogations of basic fulfilments

“When can I buy a new Mercedes Benz?”

“When can I eat out of German Silver?”

“When can I pay off my mortgage?”

Life becomes wretched in such disgraceful pursuit

Rapturous youth departs from the living

Wealth is achieved which might go astray

It’s only the accomplishment of ‘belief’ which lingers with the being.

 In this wondrous promenade leading to the Elysium

Two distinctive souls are united in holy matrimony

It’s the music which creates this melodious strain

Adorning the saunter with either comfort or agony.

A thousand different circumstances contribute to a single journey

It’s the liberty of the self to think, feel and do as he yearns

In this tangible world, is there really a Station?

In the trip it self lies true happiness, not in the ultimate destination.

Such an inevitably arduous journey is meliorated by a truthful comrade

Who stands by in good times and bad, draught, riot, war, king’s court and even after obliteration  

To walk side by side when the rest walks either in front, or behind

Asserting every challenge as a veracious and a hospitable guide.

A journey is like a home to enrich a hankering soul

With no regrets of tomorrow or fear of the future

With sight as blind and spirit as elevated

Get through the hardest instances by taking just one step at a time.

“Life perishes leaving behind a miraculous wonder

The good deeds in the world to seek and ponder.

The twilight sky after the set of the golden sun

Brings gentle breeze for the living to stay warm.

The nostalgic melody continues its mellifluous hum

In this beautiful journey, holding hands, keep moving along.”
