Dusty Road

I am walking on a dusty road,

Dusty, curvy and dark road it is

I am walking on a dusty road,

I know not where it leads

 

Black dust engulfs me,

I see not where I am going,

Dusty, curvy and dark road it is

I know not what I am doing

 

Blinded by the black dust I walk,

There is no hint of a cool breeze

I hit myself to a boulder or two

Dusty, curvy and dark road it is

 

Bats fly, squeak all along,

Dusty, curvy and dark road it is

I wonder why there is no one here,

Rather, I can’t see them with closed eyes

 

Will this road ever end?

Or I will just walk in circles?

Dusty, curvy and dark road it is

My heart, mind and body now trembles

 

I choose now not to think,

I care not what this brings

For now I’ll keep walking,

Dusty, curvy and dark road it is

 

I will walk on this dusty road,

Dusty, curvy and dark road it is

I will walk on this dusty road,

I care not where it leads.

it's important to change the road if you are not sure what lies ahead... and can you always find another less polluted roads than Bombay ever had. The sadness is just the tick of clock, not that I am motivational speaker (I hate motivational authors) I would even love to surf on that bloody dark road, thrilling it is, no?

but sometimes we just have to go along, though its a road of misery i guess! Thanks for reading Mayank :)

Wonderful piece!
It motivates to keep going even in the saddest times.
Everyone experience this. Not knowing where to go.

Related it nicely with life. This phase comes in everyone's life when they are not sure where the life is leading them. Just moving with the flow...

Nice...:)
