TREASURED PEACE

THE TRAIN BEGINS TO SHUNT
I STAND AT THE PLATFORM
WATCHING IT GO...
TOWARDS ITS DESTINATION
AND SOON IT DISAPPEARS
GOES SO AWAY...

MY SELF WAS SO FIRM
AND SO STUBBORN
THAT NEITHER A STEP BACK
NOR ONE FORWARD
DID IT GO
AND KEEPS ON GAZING
THE TRAIN
TILL IT DISAPPEARS
WAITING FOR
IT MAY STOP BACK
BUT IT DIDN'T STOP...

I KEEP ON GAZING
THE TRACK
AFTERWARDS, FOR LONG
IN PATIENT WAIT
FOR IT MAY RETURN BACK
BUT IT DIDN'T....

GOES AWAY, THE TRAIN
AND LONELY IS THE TRACK
BUT WHAT IS LEFT
ARE THE VIBRATIONS
IN MY MIND AND THE HEART
LEAVING A SHAKEN SELF
SOON...
THE VIBRATIONS SETTLE
AND SOON THEY FAINT
LEAVING ME AT PEACE
FULL PEACE WITH MYSELF
AND...
I SMILE AT THE TRACK
AND THAT JUNCTION
TO TURN MY BACK
SO AS TO
TREASURE MY PEACE
FOREVER.....
