Companion Poem by Sachidananda Panda

We Draw the Tracks
We fall in the manholes
Of our own making
We keep the courage to tame
The stallions of Tomorrow
Despite the discipline
Hermits stumble too
While making amends
To the rugged ridges of yesterdays

A miser would have lent me a smile
To see the clouds pass by
Thou but turned away
When I needed them most
Am not scared though
And have taken a vow
Let me walk alone
If heaven is to fall by
Let it fall!
Instead of the floral bloom
I have chosen the thorns,
As my new companion
