Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Rhyme

Navigating Through Life's Highway

Across the wandering life’s changing dynamic landscape, 
the tortuous highway through the undulating topography
winded with the wheel of time to hazy future taking shape,
I was to traverse following the unseen footprints of destiny.

Many streams in spate I had swam across in somber squall,
buds of nascent hope clutched close to heart lest they sink.
Chasing butterflies in the verdant valley’s blooming sprawl,
my dreams flying through rainbow archway found precinct.

Drifting with the rhythm of the whistling wind in the forest,
radiant rays from the sunburst sky wrapped me with ecstasy.
Navigating wasteland path at night I found your arms to rest,
at dawn in my meadow the glow of love on dew I could see. 

The senile sun sinking at the edge of twilight leaves me alone,
at the life’s travelled highway I look back content for a while.
In the journey to the final abode beyond the horizon unknown,	
I don’t count the remaining footsteps while walking the last mile.
