Road to be taken

766 156 214
                                    

End of the road does not scare me

But the nature that the road took,

No milestones to mark it's progress,

No trees grew along this tar-brook,

No spring's frocks or fall's nakedness

No birds to chirp, no beasts to see.

No hawks circled like road wardens,

No bends like hairpins or elbows,

I could see future through the road-

Of nothingness, as no wind blows

Between us, without internode,

This side and that, no blocks no fence,

No obstacles, no barrier,

The otherside shows me my goal

But I don't want my future told,

I want to traverse the road whole

With my path, the end I will mould.

Nothing scares me, nothing I fear...
