The Journey Poem by Shobana Mohan

Set about in motion
Keeping in mind the notion
Of moving
Keep moving…..
Till the goal you are searching is reached…

Never stop
Never slow down
Oblivious to all obstacles
This battle of battles
Won only by
Jumping all hurdles…passing all tackles
Without at a second glance at them…

Success is for those
Who recognize and accept
Success itself as a hurdle…
A minute’s recognization…
A second’s fame…
Like a silver coin
Perishing gradually
Under the sun’s scorching glare
Forming a greenish tinge
On its surface…
Slowly, gradually…

It’s a long walk
To the goal
Getting whisked by gales…
Drenched by the downpour…
Swiped off onto the shore by the surge…
Seared by the sun’s glare…

Taking a lifetime
to meet the needs
to score a goal..
dropp a ball in the basket
cross the finish line atlast! ! !
