The Other Day I Went Closer





One day from a distance, I saw beautiful green hills,
The other day I went closer, they were trees covering the hills

Oh Trees, how beautifully you masked the magnificent with fears
I know, I know no...


One day from a distance, I saw a wonderful grey sky,
The other day I went closer, it was clouded in the sky

Oh Clouds, how nicely you blocked the bright light with conditions 
I know, I know no...


One day from a distance, there was a white wall in my way,
The other day, I went closer - it was the fog in the air.

Oh fog, how confidently you obstructed the direction with insecurities
I know, I know no...


One day from a distance, I saw water on my way,
The other day I went closer, it was a mirage in the air.

Oh Mirage, how magically you tricked the needs with illusion
I know, I know no...


One day said, you know everything
The other day said, you know nothing

But I listened to the other day to go closer.

The Muddled Race

In the midst of a muddled race,   I can't find the space to walk.   Always awake, sleep remains elusive.   The warmth, the touch of love, goes unfelt.   Tears fall, and I'm not there to wipe them away.   The surrounding kindness gets overshadowed,   Goodness ignored, dismissed with an excuse.   Dates blur, special moments fading into the abyss, Yet, there's no pause, no whisper of, "I miss you, I love you." Life sweeps by, without pause or reprieve,   With the sun's ballet—its rise and fall—reduced to mere routine.   Can't breathe deeply, can't gaze upon the stars,   So engrossed, I miss out on the now.   A chance to look in the mirror slips by—   But wait, am I even looking deep within myself?   Is it all just drudgery? A constant chase?   Excuses mount, one endeavor concludes, the next unfolds.   Always in motion, yet, am I truly alive?   I believe I'm chasing dreams,   But dreams can vanish upon waking.   In this relentless pursuit,

:: A journey that never ends ::

  Going through rusty rails, Valleys, bridges, and tunnels. A new hellos, a few goodbyes, Sweet Kisses, bitter Fists. Crossing borders, taking risks, Ups and downs, with lightning speed. Seems like we are in the same direction, but not the same destination. One's beginning can be someone's destination, Someone's destination can be some other's beginning. But everyone has to board and everyone has to get down. We are all on the Journey.

The Carrier

  I was not born with fear, It was your deeds that made my world so fearful. I'm not incompetent, But your boundaries have limited my potential to express myself. I'm not weak, Yet your blasphemy has made me fragile. I'm not insecure, But your traumatic shackles continue to haunt me. I'm not foolish, Yet your shallowness fails to recognize the light in me. You say I'm this, but I'm not, You have conditioned me to be like this. You say we are equal, But I only see equality in the presence of death. "I still carry the weight from birth, And will continue to carry it until death," said the lady, Who not only carries a bundle of sticks but also...
