Life's Walkway
The quick sands collapse within abyss
invited by airless darkness
where marshy reeds slither,
escape routes entangled
as hazard paves life’s walkway
for the destiny to saunter.
Weary steps uncalculated falter
wobbly pace uncontrolled dither,
the sands and the reeds wait
for the traveller to arrive
tired of walking a long while
life’s rough walkway.
The survival game begins
in the arena life bounces
struggling hard to win
until the time comes to join
the farewell party waiting.
Destiny is not an excuse
the walk is one’s own walk,
the pathway lighted or dark
the inner lamp decides,
caving in or girdling the garden
the inner vision conceives.
A special sanctum of sanctity
the lamp lighter needs
and the vision maker seeks
to walk life to the brink of bliss.
