Musings: The paths shall cross!

                                   Musings: The Paths shall cross!!!

Sounds of the cowbells, from far away

Green prairies all around, and the talking birds

A walk in the nature with thee

The path so common, the destinations unknown

Hand in hand we roamed, Oh! the endless conversations

Seems like a dream so close, reality so distant

I am here in my own peripheries, self defined, self contradictory

You are there in some of your own, bound and tied

Life goes like the music, rejoicing, sad, introspective….Oh! the variations

Leaving childhood behind, we have caught hold of the variables

Receded away from the constants so loved, here I miss them again

When I look back, I remember those sweet boys together

With an endless quest for joys, and unfailing love of the process called Life

Aaah…we have become serious now, or so as they expected us to be

All the talks of purpose, ambitions, destinations and scale

Happiness rooted from within, slapped onto us, so peripheral

The never converging paths, thoughts the same…

(Sigh!) I hate the divergence my friend…

Life is a great teacher, 'ideal' and pathetic students we have been...

Learning the needless, to clear tests so spurious..

Forgetting the soulful lessons, the building blocks;

Oh Yes, we have performed, and we will, in eyes of the trivial-

Home, the definition of which has been so skewed,

Our home, is the world we had created, we belonged to

The new home, is a deviation from our own imagination

The reasoning beckons, so does the disturbing truth!

Today, I can only ask myself, will there be a convergence

Will we meet again, in the real sense, will we belong again

Hope is never lost, the foundation we built was strong

The one of optimism and peace and bliss

I hope every moment and I seek every second

Those silent corners of the world, with sounds of wind and water

And our conversations, loud and silent

I seek, those peaceful places of the soul full of togetherness

Full of Universe and of our being

I hope and I seek...

The paths shall cross, I tell myself…

Paths shall cross once again my friend!!!
