All along the pathway of life,
There are various ways fully stricken with strife
Filled with the caste, community and religion hype;
Waiting for the deliverer to come and strike.
In this thick jungle of human crowd,
No one is there to hear my prayer even if I shout loud;
I find myself surrounded by a thick gloomy cloud,
In the thick jungle of human crowd;
All along to share my feeling, I search for simple souls,
Who shall share with me good thoughts and deeds for all,
The more I search the crowd, here and there I find one
Amongst the cheats, frauds & rowdy clone
Life is there for everyone to see and feel.
Scarce has become a happy meal,
Hanging on like the roots of a banyan tree
I wait for thee to sooth the pain and heal,
I try to see beyond my distant goal,
There is no sight of a nearby shore, Nor even a single soul;
To take me beyond the unfathomed shores,
I wait for thee to take me to a sheltered shore;
I am miles away in my life, far away from my goal,
Like sailing in deep, in a lonely boat;
Here and there I see a hope, like a thick shoal,
Nearer I go I find they are no more,
I wait for thee, to show me life is much more.
A visible strength in your wording allows for different feelings to come to the surface. Use your emotions. Thanks Tracker
waiting game is well pictorised Vidya..in love and war waiting is suicidal..same with life also..awake and seek..there are ways open...it requires opening the window to get the sunlight in....nice poem Vidya
“Scarce has become a happy meal“ At times, life is found to be much less than what one bargain for. But we go on in hope. Thanks for the truths presented in your wonderful poem. Enjoyed.
