Journey

Backwaters flowing into the city

For the devouring eyes a sight pretty

Silhouette of the sailor boat against the backdrop of the sunset

Mind absorbed in a stillness, words beget

Sky in a nightly embrace star winking at the sight

City lights shining bright gone is the twilight

Homely birds in their perch fallen silent

From the egg to the birds' tree has seen it all, a free home with no rent

Bridges across the backwaters crisscrossing the city

To and to in their daily commute it offers mobility

Train on track speeding along for many destinations has to be reached

Unknowing either destiny or destination my mind wanders detached.
