A Lonely Soul

"Life is like a boat tossed on the deep sea
To journey through sunshine and stormy waves." By author

                                               A Lonely Soul


                           I have strolled alone in the Ganges plains 
                               walked alone in weird wild wilderness
                                ascended steep hills laid with thorns 
                                      trodden alone dense forests 
                                         gulped pills of bitterness 
                                             waged uphill battles 
                                              all through my life 
                                                   up till now 
                                                       alone
                                                         as
                                                          I
                                                       am a
                                                   lonely soul
                                                sailing my boat
                                             in midst of the sea
                                        braving the stormy waves
                                       at mercy of the wild winds
                                   with only the Lord as my guide
                                 to steer my boat to the rightful port
                                 towards end of my perilous journey.
