For the memory of a few days in Pala

Walking Through A Desert

Desert is a land of no human life.It conveys a picture of no human emotions and sentiments, it is inhumane in nature.It makes us desperate in search of existence, of both body and soul.We live everyday, regardless of the odds, for the hope of a better sun-rise. For me, it is an attempt to walk past the greyish side of life.

I walk through a desert,
I feel hungry, and thirsty too.
But I've no means,
To take a rest; it's a desert.
I can't find a ray of hope,
A hope that keeps me alive,
All that I see here is fake,
All that troubles me is mirage.
I find no human faces here,
I know it's a barren land.

Should I take a turn?
"No. You've to move forward."

I keep my journey on; I know,
Change is the rule of the game.
I'll find green patches,
I'll find human life,
I'll find faces smiling;
"How a coward you were?"
I'll find new dawns
Bringing faith into human mind,
A faith that makes me hopeful,
Hope, that keeps me living.
[I walk through a desert,
I feel hungry, and thirsty too.]
