Few miles away..

I am not like the drops of rain
which get withered on hitting the earth

neither the ripples in serene Superior
which have viscocity but no velocity

and not the whirls in Ganges either
which only have agility
but can't go against the flow

I am like waves in the Pacific
which hit the shore more ferociously
everytime
they come back.

Just few miles from destination
after a long and tiring journey

need to take a stop
as it's too dark

joy of having completed this far
and agony of waiting to reach the destination
only tomorrow and not today.
_______________________________________________

I am exhausted after day's work

there is clumsiness in my walk
stumble in my talk

sleeplessness in my eyes
tiredness on my face

yet i feel excited
as the efforts are going to change the course
and the pain is worth it anytime.

Sometimes I wonder how small the life
is
to do all i want to before i depart

and sometimes it's like counting my days on earth
in a hurry to get this departure re-scheduled.
