Creation in Verse - Mukund Aggarwal

THE PATH OF THE FORSAKEN  

 by Mukund Aggarwal

 

On they weave, threads of the speckled sand,

 through desolate, bygone lands, and country fields,

over hasty rivers, and the uncharted, eternal peaks.

The Path goes ever on, and we tread it with weary feet,

 anon its end, rescind all joy, glory and hope,

 to exhort the sunken gloom.

Then, awake are we, to measure the life passed,

and its joys were lost in incessant mourning, lest we see our last.

Let mirth and laughter come by, walk alive in these sands,

 why be enchained behind sparkling bars?
