LIFE'S ROAD.. Moitreyee Raju

 

Yearning for a leisurely stroll
one fine evening,
as i happened to be in a flamboyant mood
that very evening,
the road looking alluring
with the setting sun beguiling
I set out looking to strolling.

A nip in the air
enhanced the natural thoroughfare,
that solicited me to have an affair..
Oh an affair!?
..Yes an affair;
with the trees and their rustling leaves,
with the crickets and the thickets,
with the butterflies and the buttercups
with the innate nitty gritty of life
that makes the world such a delight!

The road was lonely
and thus felt very homely;
I walked on it like a prima ballerina
and soon the road became my arena.

I walked and stopped and walked again,
while the sun reached the other world
making way for the night to descend;
Now the moon and the stars walked with me
and i for once felt in august company.

"This road mustn't end", thought I
"Roads never end", pat came the reply.
One road leads to the other
and then they walk together
promising never to go asunder.

Sometimes there comes a dead end,
but a little prod can prove to be a godsend;
That narrow connecting road...
then feels like the most desired abode.

The lanes and bylanes have secrets plentiful,
of lost love, lost life and emotions beautiful;
Roads and life are forever intertwined
like Siamese twins they tend to simplify!!
