The Winding Road Poem by Nosheen Irfan
The Winding Road
On the winding road of life, often
splattered with showers I found myself
Caught in the fury of a storm, or lashed
by the winds of change
The trees were no shelter
Drowned as they were, in tears
Dripping on to me all their sorrows
So I left, to walk on slippery road
Hoping to slide on, all by myself
Clutching the hand of Fate, as my sole comfort
I saw, trudging along, dreams turning into dust
Love collapsing like a sandcastle
Promises broken like crystals
Be it rain or sunshine on the winding road
The trees soaked in a torrent of crying
Or leaves shining with the birth of sunshine
The winding road has no end
For solitary, echoless footsteps.
I agree with Valsa's statement - Life's torturous journey is beautifully pictured. The vivid imagery of your poem shows us why we love the world despite our frequent disappointments. Even tragedy occurs inside of this beautiful world and that surrounding beauty is sufficient to keep us from despair - that is, if we are sensitive to beauty and not totally isolated. The painter MIRO put ladders in his paintings so his painted characters could escape from the canvas - Your beautiful Imagery provides such escape ladders.
In the winding roads of life, we hope to find some relief at every bend. But often we are baffled by the hurdles and misery that await us and we find the road stretching endless before us with no wayside inn to rest our weary limbs! Life's tortuous journey is beautifully pictured!
Finding self in the winding road of life is not only interesting but also amazing definitely. Dripping out in sorrows and collapsing in love to find again sunshine of self make us realizing life's track. Fantastic sharing...10
