In the Roller Coaster Ride of Life

In the roller coaster ride of life –
I hunger for some time where 
I can stroll deep in memory lanes 
and cherish the moments of past, 
which are waiting like clouds of joy
to comfort me before I lose hope.

I hunger for a quiet corner where 
I can be with my thoughts and the 
words that flow from my pen portray 
a beautiful poem that is caged in me
for a long time and needs devotion.

I hunger for some emptiness where 
I can fill new dreams, that could bring
a change in the world around me, for 
the generations to come I want them to
know, that I gave purpose to my life.
