i have come a long way...crossing over rivers and mountains
i have travelled vast spaces and met a lot of faces
yes, faces indeed!
happy and sad, pale and rosy, all varieties and kinds
but still there is a lot to see...
the hunger for life is still burning within me!
it is a calm night, nothing in it to suggest otherwise
the clouds are resting from their day's journey
i am indeed hoping for some rain
but then my wish don't count!
I'm just an ordinary soul!
a face among the many faces...
sometimes i wonder how does it all look from the top
thousands and thousands of faces
moving below...rushing
talking, crying, smiling, screaming, kissing,
angry, sane, insane...
each looking like the other
with the uniqueness blurred due to heights
and down here...
the prejudices so high
the observations so critical
the pinning of character
the categorization of moral
the mystery of my own self
the challenging task of knowing the rest
the shadows of convenience
the tales of betrayals...
life they say is all about living
but caged in our definitions
dominated by premonitions
i wonder what it means to be alive?
