A journey begins..

This far and no further,

I told myself at every step…

I inched ahead and missed breath-

at every milestone, the goal post shifted…

And I kept moving on,

just one step ahead

to reach somewhere….

But every time I was on road

I was walking in different directions

reaching different milestones,

one after the other….

Distinct expedition …mutually exclusive…

There is no way to retrace my steps…

If I walked back, I will be lost..

So I keep moving ahead…

waiting to discover or maybe, be discovered…

No I am not a wanderer or a nomad or a gypsy…

I am the future, born today…

I have no history

My present is exploration of tomorrow..

I have crisscrossed the globe

-that someone said has turned flat…

But interestingly the earth is still round…

moving in circles.

I am curious and scared…

Will the round earth be able to carry the flat world

and still mange the twirl on its axis,

go around the sun in endless cycles….

Or will it go off balance and

the flat world will skid off…

left to float on endless void….

unable to touch feet to ground!

I know what it means to float in void

I have walked across childhood and puberty to adulthood…

but there are no footprints of this journey,

neither on earth nor on time.

No it was not an aimless travel…

It has been a journey…

A true journey…

with landmarks and milestones…

only destination was not known.

Now when I look at the horizon…

The crimson sky kissing the brown earth..

The first twinkle of star appearing at one corner…

The divisive line getting blurred at every blink…

I see this road coming to end…

And a journey begins.
