Beyond'less'...

Pointing to a distant green land,

beyond the river,

I remember once you told,

that's where you reside.

In that mid summer,

the river was just a dry sand path.

We then naturally parted.

I was again reminded of you,

when the south-west monsoon started.

I rushed to get to see you.

By reaching the place of our parting,

I got to see an overflowing river,

having no banks.

Drenched under the pouring sky,

I was ought to think

one of my friends asking me a question,

'How far a lizard can run?',

without letting me to think

he answered it himself,

'Not beyond the fence...'

Sometimes it becomes difficult for us to garner courage and do what we want, to fulfill our desires and dreams. :(
