Treading and trailing 
All the newness
Inhaling

Walking to the vagueness 
Of past 
Walking on this road 
Till my inquisitiveness would last

and there is forest 
Peace but dark 
Can hear only a dog bark

There is a forest on the other side 
On the other side of the road 
Like a boundary it flows 
Of this warm summer 
and the cold winter that it holds

And unprepared I went 
My thoughts all scattered not concurrent 
Crossed the road for the first time
Pretending to be fine, playing mime

Mind spoke to heart 
Stop gushing you old guy 
Heart said why don’t you tell me a lie 
Let’s play the same old game of knowing and not knowing 
Of light in darkness 
Of love in hatred 
Of warmth in the coldness
Of you and I

Preoccupied with this tussle 
Forest is now what I see 
No hustle No bustle 
In these times of wee
No trail from the past
Only darkness to the last

Way or no way
light or no light
In a forest
of immense possibilties

Its

Just me 
A bit closer to self. 
Walking the walk of life.
