about life in a poetic sense.....
I have walked for miles
Down this long winding road
Looking back, over my shoulder
Watching the years go
I realize , Something special
I have grown
Grown in many ways
Of that unknown
Change has been inevitable
Just like the passage of each day
And as I look ahead
In the darkness
I stand and anticipate
Many more cross roads, slopes and twists
That may be brought
By my dear Fate
And this leads me to take in
My one and only source
A silver gleaming ray of hope
Shown from up above
Just like the moonlight
Seeping amidst the dark clouds
On a pitch black night
And as I place each step
I watch
The winding road unfold
And I realize
Being Calculative and Cautious
Is not the easiest job
In the world
Time tries me
Experience guides me
My guru , My Master
And with each tiny step
Reality sets in
That I have begun a new chapter

And as I move on
I paint enveloping landscapes
In colors and shades of my moods
On life’s canvas
In different stages
I smear ragging dark seas
In my anger
Paint dazzling rays of sunshine
That makes me
Bubble with laughter
In love
I bloom daffodils
Far beyond the horizon
I sometimes Sketch grey clouds
To express melancholic reaction
I may even stroke
A beautiful waterfall
And claim serenity and peace
But I know
Every picture I paint
Of my life
Is that what I choose and please

And that is what makes
The long winding road
So thrilling and adventurous
But I have taken note
Lessons may be many
So don’t count your stumbles
Every time you trip on a snag
Get up , brush yourself
And don’t let your confidence crumble
There might be
A lot of U turns ,wrong turns
And all sorts of other disasters

But in the end
It is where we are
And not how we got there
That matters
And when I think
Is there an end to this long winding road
I realize
What I think might be the end
Might be a key to a beginning
To which I hold .
