THE TRAVEL

The Travel #

Step by step I trod the road

passing by the vehicles

which move slowly and lazily

all of them are in a hurry

I am in no worry

they are in a rush to reach

their destination

there is no rush, there is nothing

to rush

I simply forget the passing vehicles

which spew pollution into my breath

and nostrils.

I struggle to beat out the impure air

from my lungs but of no use

I read the faces as I walk along

many are filled with sadness, sorrow

filled with thought, tension and worry

I notice pessimistic, optimistic

and several other people

I walk and walk towards the

place of my destination

leaving all the people and cares

of the world to the world

enough has the world offered

pains, joys

I contributed my share to world

here I walk, sometimes wade through

life waters, reminiscent the things

the world has given in return

in a well measured way

shaken but not stirred

fragile handle with caution

this is the reason I am

walking, taking steps

towards my destination

having lived the life

to its fullest, to the greatest

moment

I take a step closer to the

next realm of life

I hear voices from my back

don’t leave us

I hear voices saying to me

travel well my friend

I hear voices saying

welcome home friend.

I take another step

towards my destination.
