Let me walk on
the rest of my life’s path
just for the sake of
fun of the journey
without a destination!
don’t tell me
to reach a goal or
climb one more rung
in the ladder to the top
for the sake of name or fame;
I have run too many races all throughout
mostly with failures
sometimes with little success!
now let me walk on…..
to reach nowhere,
not to set another destination
after reaching somewhere
and continue to look for
mystery of nature and creation
everywhere!
now let me walk on…..
barefoot on green grass,
blades moist with morning dews,
glistening like diamonds
in early morning rays,
enjoying the beauty
of sunrise beyond the hills and plains!
now let me walk on….
the soft sand
of the endless beach
of life’s ocean
with a long garland of footprints
to be washed by series of tides!
now let me walk on….
following the setting sun,
twilight, the moon and stars,
fathoming the mystery
of the universe,
the controlling power
behind everything – nothing to all!
now let me walk on….
simply enjoying the journey
as it continuously unfolds,
without any expectations
in these twilight years
and beyond!
now let me walk on and on..and on…
expressing my gratitude to everyone
whom I meet
on my journey in every bend,
be a flower, bird, human, or insect…
and be happy and peaceful myself
in that process!
