Road Of Faith. Poem by Subhadip Bhattacharya

That your body will travel
Everyday from your house
To work, through
Roads and cities and markets
Taking, or rather urging you
To travel with him
Through your holidays and off days.

But there is another way, another road
Different in route and approach
That 'You' will take, only 'You'
That will take 'You'
Through and beyond
Deserts and sands and oceans
And beautiful landscapes
And conflicts and darkness and
Hopelessness and hopefulness.

This second one,
If you can separate from the body
And see it more clearly
Or let it guide you,
You will find all the
Peace of the world.
