O Traveler! Poem by Hemendra Singh Deopa

Treading carelessly through the pebbly path,
Sometimes brightly under the sun,
sometimes walking in the dark,
Mostly searching for a light.
Not the sunlight that provides warmth,
but sunshine that shines upon the soul.
coming across throngs of travelers.
Travelers! O my co travelers!
is it that I am not like you or is it that you are not like me.
you walk on your way and I do so too.
we walk the path all along but never the same.
But we walk and we keep walking.
As we walk our ways at times we stop,
reflecting upon our journeys so far only to find how far is still we haven't tread?
Lonely at times, at times in pain, hurt, broken and yet ready to go.
Like in this lonely hour I sit calmly.
Suppressing the agony of being what I am not meant to be,
Suppressing the agony of living in a world that's not enough.
But I know I got to travel far, far away where I can see the light shining upon me.
So the loneliness is not hurting not haunting either.
I tell my heart to be calm, I tell from the bottom of my heart the same to be calm.
Be calm and find the best path you must travel.
I will be traveling mine and I won't stop till the end.
Till the end of my life,
And I will find the light.
