A Silent Voyage

"all of us are on a journey and the answers are unspoken"
                                            Quote by _Constance La France 

The cause is illusory; effect too; process pursues;
We sojourners know the cause; none speaks; just a silent muse!
Brahmacharya (student) Grihastha (householder) are gone,
Vanaprastha (forest walker and the searcher) is on...!

Sun is my guide during the day and the lamp lit at night,
Life and death are constant; betwixt morals never a fight;
My journey, having been blessed with episodes good and bad,
Physique and psyche move together expectations clad...!

This lamp of mine should be kept burning till I reach my end,
God has entrusted it to me; Goal is hope and trust blend;
Oneness with the almighty leads my journey tirelessly,
My silent, simple aim is: To dwell with him endlessly...!!!
