Long I Travelled Poem by Praveen Kumar in Celestial Glow

Long I Travelled



I spared not mysteries of this world,
I scared not to tread unknown world,
I spread wings across far away horizons
I stared endlessly new moon dark nights
To trace footprints you left on the path
While you hurried away on the divine call
And faded from my weak mortal sight.

It's forty and six more full circles since
We met and parted like dazzling lightening
That left blinding dark world all round me
While you vanished as fast as dawned on me.

Years rolled like tides of turbulent sea,
But niche you carved is constant as ever;
Times not withered, shocks no way dulled
The glow you lit deep in soul of my soul,
Or shaken not mansions you built in heart
And lessened not focus to discover you again.

I'm in this shore; you're in some shore,
In-between lies vacuum of unknown worlds;
I stare across vacuum to trace your presence
And receive oft beacons, I think from you,
But, alas, find soon, all not tall as you are;
How long I carry with these ups and downs,
Why not you resurface to save me from fall?

Long I traveled, certainly longer I travel
To trace you somewhere, somehow, sometime;
No setbacks me stop, no frustrations crop,
And I sail through time to reach you somehow;
Past lay in wastes, time shrivels the present,
Yet soul ticks till I get you to waiting arms.
