The Parable of a lone traveller

The Parable of a Lone Traveller

In search of livelihood,
I stayed alone,
roamed around—
at times, in the luxury of cities,
at times, in the inadequacy of my native place.

In hindsight, I tried to trace
the missing point!

I belong to none.

The parable of a lone traveller:
the more you listen,
the less you realise.

Emptiness, laced with silence.
The path of a commoner,
always uncommon!
