On The Way

A time does come in life

When the goal is near

But the ways aren’t clear

When things going well and fine,

Turn topsy-turvy and take your mind

When sunny days look dark as night

And starlit nights show cloudy skies

When the water crystal clear,

Looks full of mud and smear

And the rising sun on top of the hill,

Seems going down.

 

That’s the time,

The time to close your eyes and think

What is that which makes you shrink?

Is it the greatness of your goal?

Or just the outlook of your soul?

Quietly in your puzzled mind,

Will come a reply for you to mind,

“The goal is near and it’s all your fear

Let it go and open your eyes

All are same- the day, the night and the sun.”

 

Now that the dreams are all over

Its time to toil and labour

The time to pave new ways

Out of the maze you got in.

But in these steps towards your goal

Do not forget to leave a trail.

As when you finally reach the goal

And tell the people all your tale

They may doubt what you say

And will grow suspicious day by day

Then the trail you would’ve left behind

Will let all know, you are one of your kind.

 

The meandering river of your life

Will finally reach its sea

And the vast empire of serenity

Will be yours.
