A Song For The Way Poem by Ananta Madhavan

A Song For The Way



When the way is long,
You need to sing a song;
A song of rue or joy,
For no one's ears but yours.

If you can find the words
To suit your mood and zest,
You need no proud acclaim
Of ephemeral fame.

Your inner song may be
The lonely listener
To your private trance
In the masque or dance.

You need no proof or disk
To play on microphone.
So as you trudge along,
Sing your languid song.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Sometimes one is apt to wonder why one was born, how one is a distinct
individual in the species, what is one's role in existence. Such thoughts can be lifted if one thinks of life as a journey and one is
the sole listener to a private song.
