Poetry for Life – My Journey

As I was to start my journey on a lone and beautiful path,
a girl as beautiful as she could be,
came and stood besides me.
She smiled and held my hand gently and we started walking…
I enjoyed each moment passing by, each step we took together and her
company.

Then I looked at her,
her skin was as pure and beautiful as moonlight.
Her hair were like the waves of an ocean seen in darkness
flowing with the air with a brilliant shine.
Then she turned towards me and looked straight in my eyes,
I saw her black eyes beneath her waves which reminded me of a
tranquil blue lake at night
with the reflection of the moon.

Suddenly I looked forward and realised that I have promises to fulfill,
I tried to free my hand from hers
but she held them tightly and asked me to walk with her.
I noticed the depth and tranquility in her voice,
I asked her who she was,
She replied,” a friend.”
Bewitched by her voice and beauty,
I walked with her,
She watched me do my duties,
overcome each storm that came by…

Then we approached the end of the road.
I realised how beautiful the way was,
recollecting my sorrows and joys I felt tranquil.

Then she left my hand and said now go on the divine path,
I asked her why she left my hand and won’t she come with me?
She said,” No, I cannot go any further with you. Go to the path of
godliness and purity…
the path of the chosen and pure in heart”.
Then I asked her how to get there…
She quietly took my hands into hers and looked straight in my eyes,
then she brushed my forehead and I fell down and lied on my path.
I saw a star-studded way unwinding before me,
I started closing my eyes and the way became clearer.
When I was just about to close my eyes-
I realised that she was my life,
and I heard her say,” I told you that I’m a friend.”
