Long Journey! Poem by Ramesh T A

Controlled by fate and driven by desire
Under confusion as a drunken person
We all live life and wish to go to the full!

Pleasure and pain alternately encounter
All of us and hope and disappointment
Like the up and down toss of waves go!

In the long or short journey of our life
We move on to unknown destination
On a vast ocean on a ship sans compass!

During the night time we look for some
Distant lighthouse beacon to get a sense
Of hope to find a direction to reach shore!

Somehow after reaching the shore, life tour
Doesn't end until we climb up hills to go high
On misty staircase to the galaxy to heaven...!
