Crossroads

Why is it that when we face a crossroad?
our mind comes to a standstill, and
the obscurity of the situation, further
makes taking a call seem like a task uphill!

It's true that some roads lead us to
success, happiness, peace n' bliss, but
it's also true that some roads lead us to
failure, defeat n' sadness strewn amiss!

One cannot remain standing forever
not wanting to surge ahead, out of fear
some road will have to be chosen n’ undertaken
so what if the journey at the onset appears murkier!

Like an enthralled sojourner, choose the road
where your heart n' mind guide you to, and
if you feel enroute that this isn't the one,
just take a U back for the next road n' continue!

In the realm of unknown, lie the answers
to all that you want to seek n' know
you have to learn to obey n’ listen to nature
as it teaches on the way, but first you've to go!

Tune in your mind n' raise up your eyes
to overcome the plight that's anguishing you
every crossroad has some learning for you to imbue
replenished with the beauty that surrounds you!

A time to rend, a time to sew

She'd an unmatched zeal as was her pursuit
to learn the true n' real meaning of life
she embraced her quest n' set out in zest
but it did not take her long to realize
what the harshness in life had done to her heart
she was no longer a reflection of her true self
she loved company but felt alone in crowd
she wasn't lonely but she longed for a world
that was filled with peace, bliss n' love
she paused when she couldn't comprehend
the perils of life that consumed her whole
but she bounced back with her fiery spirit
piecing herself together to continue her transit
to seek what she sought, such intense was her will
as time flowed, she learnt more n' more
she never believed in the doctrines
n' always left it to the sands of time
to guide her through her journey of life
be it her fate, destiny or the winds of change
n' all the realities that she found strange
like a wise sojourner, she imbued the real
and felt exalted, liberated n' joyous
as she realized the meaning of life anew
that there is always "a time to rend and a time to sew"!

Wanderer

She traveled 
far and wide
a sole wanderer
in quest of peace
across oceans, plateau
n' the jaded forests
crossin' deserts, planes
n' the mired valleys
 
She traveled 
far and wide
a sole wanderer
in search of love
the obscured sky above
the moonlit galaxy
besprinkled with stars
guiding her as a lighthouse

She traveled 
far and wide
a sole wanderer
in pursuit of answers
through unknown paths
where no man had tread
keeping her will alive 
in her sparkling eyes

Unfazed by the outcome of ~
her quest, search n' pursuit
bewildered by the realities
of the vagaries of life
imbuing the realms
like a wise sojourner
She traveled 
far and wide
a sole wanderer!
