The Trail Blazer Poem by Seema joglekar

The Trail Blazer



The roads were slippery and the rains were in,
The paths were blazing and the paths were thin,
The journey was long, the forests were ominous and mean,
Our heads were held high and our hearts were keen.

You were two steps ahead I was two behind,
Once again to lose ourselves and once again to find,
Oblivious to the disturbed ruffle in the wind,
It is the kernel that matters not the rind.

To drain the opiates off their sparkle in vain,
To make a moon swing on pitiless hours of pain,
We have seen the cobwebs catch the dew,
The struggle nor the stakes matter to the few.

Over your loneliness my heart was lost to you
I treaded on relentlessly with you in view.
Fear had been with me for long, lost in the green,
But you had been longer, trusting, above all the din.

I'm lost in the woods and your voice goes feeble,
Night‘s closing in, on your footsteps, on the double,
You may have misread me; I may have lost the clues,
I could run around in circles, find your way in my blues.

The road listens to the footfall of its memories,
The heart learns not to ask but to wait its worries

Neither lurking joke nor fate in a quirk
In you I trust, let all else throw its hammer stroke
Whatever you do - - just make it work.
