I had to go many more miles
It was a dark night in the month of May, The last bus dropped me at the bus stand, I had to go many more miles on the way , Long -forgotten road activated my gland. The dark road made me afraid to walk further, The noises of the insects tested my courage, Owls in the tree's hole made murmurs, Clammy sweat rolled down my pale visage. The street light looked like a tiny star, Reptiles were crossing the road very fast, I flashed back to an event from the past. I heard the howls of the street dogs, The strong wind caused the bamboo's blast , I heard the different sounds made by the frogs, My fearfulness made me walk very fast. Suddenly I saw the tall temple tower, The scene gave me more valour and strength, My mental illness scattered like flour, Courageous people never measured the length.
