Towards The East Poem by Ramakrushna Sahu

There is no other direction
Except the east
And the journey is also fixed
Knowingly or unknowingly
Always towards the source of light

Sometimes someone fumbles
In the darkness cast by sleep
And found to be lost
But there is no step backward
And all paths are right
Because they are bound to
move eastward
And what required is a renewsl of faces
With different shapes and colours
For you follow and are followed
By the light from the very moment
It begins

Remorse therefore not
O travellers! move
Make your journey a celebration
Of dance and music
And stop where you like
And see the east there
With the sun always rising within.
