“Story of a traveler”

“Story of a traveler”

24 November/ Gopal Trital

 

Long road

An endless travel

Cool air takes me back to

Your memories, distant now

 

Up from the mountain

I see a village of yours

Where once I had stopped by

To see how it feels to be alive

 

I can’t have roots anywhere

For I am made to move

You see those horizons pulling me,

Into the unknown?

Yeah, I see nowhere except this road

If life permits I shall get back again

To see how it feels to be alive

 

Till then, the traveler keeps up his walk

On the road, endless travel

But, whenever a cool air would strike

It will bring back your memories, for sure.

Long roads….Long roads…

Long Roads…. Back to you..

After years n years that I travelled

 

It’s been ages that I left for unknown

Somewhere, where I could never reach

Every second, I wished I could live again

The life of my choice, but I failed

I was misguided by my own destiny

 

Deserts everywhere inside the green

Surrounded by stony hearts and mysterious grin

But, the lure kept on pulling me hard

The greed to get more and more, of what?

Every second, I wished I could live again

The life of my choice, but I failed

I was trapped, puzzled in my own destiny

 

Now, after all it has ended

I have grown old, without powers

Without fuel to ride further

I am here, back to your place

To relive how it feels to be alive

Will you be there to make me smile?

 

After a long session of my cries

I am tired now; take me into your arms

No more walk, no more running hard

I want to rest here besides your love

 

Oh! Even you have changed

The place looks different

And, you’ve your own boundaries to maintain?

Walls, it’s too late to break into these

Demanding me to be away from your reach

 

Let the life be taken cared

In search of invisible, the creator

Now, no more a wanderer

Without a complain, or tears, or memories

Of everything I saw, till ages I lived

But still, feels vacuum, deep inside

Let the vacuum be filled in now,

Silently I sleep; gradually I’m healed

The sound of heart fading, farther

Here I rest,

In the lap of my invisible Mother
