The Journey! (River, clouds and the Bird!)

Exhausted with the thoughts of the day, for more, evening made the way! Sitting in my RDX (office) I penned down a few words. These words, in the form of a poem,  describe Life as a journey of the river, clouds and the bird and draw comparison to the human Life. The Journey will always have the ups and downs but the purpose of a journey is evolution, exploration, learning and bliss. Lets try and stick to it! Here it goes:


Over the pebbles and the sand
Droplets of water, progressing hand in hand
The origins forgotten, left far behind
Future hurdles awaited, of whatever kind
Making way through the terrains unforeseen
Gushing through the gorges, forever keen!

Floating, roaming around the mounts high
Colliding without fear, submitting with a sigh
Rising and falling, serving the alienated souls
Diminishing own being, forgetting own goals
Reasons, positive or the dark, destiny the same
Flowing with the process, oblivious to fame

Chirping in the mornings, waking others
When on a trip to the sky, nothing bothers
Raising the next, fighting the foes
Land and the sky, far away or close
Symbol of the free, unbound and the fanatic
Flowing, floating, flying and never static!

The beginnings and the ends, forgotten or unseen
Gliding in the present, they just have been
Greeting the smiles, and the sorrows on the way
Be it the obscure nights or the sunny day
The reasons, the blessed and the victims
Vading through the journey despite their own whims!

Entangled through needs; clouds, bird and the river
Swapping roles, of the needy and the giver
Embarked different journeys so alike
Achieving, failing, but strong as a dike
Humans are so similar, then why this divergence
Life is our Journey, Nature, our convergence!
