Seeking 'Life' Poem by Jyotishman Debnath

I have travelled alone
a thousand miles...
crossing rivers, hills and plains
seeking one word 'life'

I am not tired
but my wings are heavy!

I have no destination
like a wind
don't know where i come from?
where I will go?

I have roamed all over
the worldwide tour
lodging myself in a corner of my mind
seeking one word 'life'

I am not tired
but my wings are heavy

the places I have seen
the poeple I met
always followed them
played with heartstrings
seeking one word 'life'

age is gaining time over me
if I lived at all
it is just out of habit!

I have wasted so many years!

now I walk with death
hand in hand, together
seeking one word 'life'
letting the dead
live again.

I am not tired
but my wings are heavy
waiting for life!
