CROSSROAD

CROSSROADS

**************

Which way to opt for

Standing on crossroads of confusion

We are not able to take

A firm decision

Some nostalgic memories pf past

Some sour, some sweet experiences 

Association with past


Entangled in threads of past

We are not able to enjoy our present


We have reached 

That halting -point of age

Where, before moving further

Our moves get restricted


We fail to muster courage

To face challenges

Of future

God know

What secrets 

Might be enfolded 

In lap of future


Entangled in warp and weft 

Of past, present and future 

Weaving threads of preoccupation

And getting entrapped in our own cob-web

Like spider

We will have to find out

Path of free movement.


Some glorious moments of past

Some golden moments of present

Some plans for future

Accumulating as provisions 

For our upcoming journey


Keep moving further

O, Traveller!

Pathway will itself

Show you path of

Reaching destination.

Multi-lingual Poetess & translator

    I second your opinion of " glorious past" but I disagree with what you called "golden present,"feeding almost 60%of population on 5kg per soul' free ration is in no way a thing we should be proud of,I am afraid this huge population who are sitting ideal and enjoying free meals in future may become a problem for our beloved nation,their laziness may cost us badly.
