Silent Strides
People driving swiftly
While I was walking
on a rainy path alone,
Many passers passed by.
Then in blues a man
Drove an abandoned road uphill
While the usual being over used.
My legs stride the uphill
Though dreamscape,
It's a mirage of true life:
The shouldering of life's
Call and commitment
Of family's well being.
An Alto car I carried upon
My shoulder and climbed
That uphill , Yes I climbed it.
The road might be plain,
Rough and rugged,
Uphill and downhill
I'll beat with
The rhythm of
My heart and no one
Shall hinder nor block me.
