Lost

As I walk my way along

Slowly humming a dear song

I see nothing but blinding darkness

Patched pathways and eerie wilderness.

How lovely were the bygone days

Full of life in one and many ways

There was trust and magical hope

Vibrant and colourful like the kaleidoscope.

Just for a moment, my focus blew

Where have I landed I have no clue

Easy was walking holding your finger

I feel like a stone thrown by a slinger.

Is this a kind of a test or a trial

Or a delicate way of denial

Should I walk or wait for your arrival

For I know not means for survival.

Eyes are burdened with tears

And the heart is tightened with fears

The mind is filled with fleeting dreams

Thoughts floating away in teems.

I walk slowly a step at a time

Not bothering if it’s grime or shine

For I know it within deep

Neither are you resting nor asleep

With immense tranquillity, you stand waiting

Just for me to reach you with love and longing!!
