A Grieving Traveler

I sat in a train again Without you... I sat with pain again Without you.. I wish you were there I wish to get back your stare I wish to share some words How I wished to look out of the window the same way as yesterday.. This journey that I start again Without you... This journey that I pause more often Without you... As there is no one to put a hand on My shoulder of disdain.. As there is no one to just make a  Harmless gesture of being insane.. How I wished to sip that cup of tea with a relentless life beyond the sea waiting to be free.. *Dedicated to my mom as she shares her feeling of loneliness after my dad passed away last year. They both used to love traveling together... * picture courtesy the author while she captures this on her train ride to  Carlisle, PA.

Success

There is a path where we all travel alone,
You follow someone until one day that someone becomes a no one..
The light which leads you through the path is a myth,
There is darkness and treachery  underneath the sheath.

Sometimes you do the people way and at times the other way,
Until you finally learn to persuade..
You strive for a companion throughout 
Even when you find many until 
You decide you don't need any..

In the beginning you kept account for each and every step,
After which you heedlessly skipped a lot of steps..
Your pace dragged you into a blind diversion..
And suddenly you discover a path of illusion.

You narrow down your ways and the path becomes steeper,
You have become weak and the weak have become stronger..

The journey slows down and that someone whom you followed is nowhere to be found..
Your close associates have sufficed to those who cared for their presence..

You are left out wandering for a distinct essence..

Walking and humming along into another epic of success...
