In the boat of my life

I sail through the meandering streams, the oceans, the rivers and the seas,

I come across rugged waterfalls and sudden gushes

Which teach me experiences bitter and sweet

I see the lush green around me and try to fathom the very dust they arise from

There are faces strange and new which beckon me forward; what should I do and what should I not?

Decisions are taken, some sore some wise.

Into the meandering streams I wander, for there are yet stories untold…lurking in the bends unknown

Through shallow waters and tides high, I move on

Rocking ahead, sailing ahead into the wide blue seas.

Sometimes I wonder, when the journey would cease

Tired am I of the diverse roles taken, the twists the turns, the gushes the rushes.

If only someone could take me along…through the bobbing waves;

To be a part of this journey together… forever…

To experience the highs and the lows, the ups and the downs

In the togetherness of our souls; our beings

In the very essence of our living…

But it is not to be, for destiny has something else in store for me.

Alone I carry on in the vast wide oceans, lonely, weary and tired.

Maneuvering the steering, I move on,

I know I have to; I can and I will!

The heart may cry, but that’s for no one to see

With head held high and determination strong

Into the meandering streams I sail on…
