Life's lessons

I walk on an unpaved road....

towards a dreamy destination

Uncertainly putting some trembling steps...
and some steps confidently....

Some people come my way
like a cool breeze

I wish it stays...

But I realise the breeze is not for me...
It is a mirage...
haunting me with its artificiality...

Though the mind knows evrything,
it comes under the sway of the heart

and tries to clutch on the mirage and
I fall down....

I love it as it is enticing and
also hate it as it does not exist for me...

I let my thoughts wander with the sun scorching me
thirsting for a bit of water and every drop feels like elixir

I feel like a dog being made to run around for
a piece of a biscuit called love

I realise I am human and
I have some tasks unfinished and
some goals unreached...

The breeze shall flow...
I do not want to be touched anymore
by its illusion...
