How I Feel

At times when I journey in my mind,
journey into this elusive world
I feel like singing
dancing
jumping
for the measureless joy that rooms my heart
for what God has done for me

At times when I journey in my mind
journey into this elusive world
I feel neither joy nor sadness
I just think
at this time
I do my things nonchalantly

At times when I journey in my mind
journey into this elusive world
I feel like raining ocean of tears
for the sweet pain
too sweet to swallow in my path
for the way in which I embrace
where there seems to be no way
for the aims
to which I hold
fruitless aims, they seem
whereas age increases
day by day
for many things unmentioned!
when I travel in my mind
travel into this elusive world
I wonder
what future lies before me
