Philosopher's Walk
Philosopher's Walk


Many desires to fulfil, perhaps a life time is short still
Sometimes it is about travel, often it is material.
Restless mind wanders, kick up a storm of thoughts
Mutate into desires, more than what one requires.
Hope you won't get mad I desire to become a nomad
Walking as the lone purpose, not to worry I wouldn't lose poise.
With money in the bank, a pack at the back,
With a mobile no need for cash in hand
There may be destiny but no destination
For nights you can find shelter in a railway station.
Some day walking is a meditation
One step at a time, in the feet feel the sensation.
In life there is no hurry, part memories now remain blurry.
About future no desires nothing to nurture
You walk in the present one s
tep at a time.
In the distance you hear a temple bell chime.
Become aware of the baggage in your memory
You laugh at desires to live in the tower ivory.
Like the tree you shed leaves of desires
It is a renewal in the making, in the mind you continue to enquire
Shed of leaves the tree stands naked
Shed of desires you feel emotions sacred.
It's a walk to know thyself
To the noise in the mind you turn deaf.
Feel one with the surroundings
Accept whatever to you that life brings.
You would witness a changing landscape
That is a reality from which there is no escape.
Present is the moment, avoid another movement
What it is it is, this is what life is meant!
