O Traveler! Poem by Jaipal Singh

O Traveler!
Your aim and endeavor is to reach destination
So keep walking alone - keep walking alone.

What if your path is full of impediments
What if you are dragged in spurs and thorns
What if path is uneven, rocky and tiresome
With daunting trenches and high mountains…

What if on this onerous and deceptive sojourn
Destiny has conspired sending you to doom
Insurmountable road blocks, so much of gloom
Destination is far ahead, hazy and wearisome…

What if you are in the proximity of twilight zone
What if you are abandoned by your companion
What if you are forsaken by your loved one
And all near and dear gone away one by one…

Like you had come alone, you shall go alone
It's a long - long way to unexplored, unknown
No one can accompany you to the final sojourn
Beyond the galaxy of stars is your destination…

O Traveler!
Make sure before dusk you reach destination
So, Keep walking alone - keep walking alone.
