The uncertain travelers ------------------------------- A fresh road with nomadic leaves lies ahead of the travelers, still uncertain a bit. Journey thus begins. The spendthrift sun in this vacuum of evening is making him shiver, wintry. The road to hills is bending to the blended mists. He can taste the fear as he licks his lips. He is frightened not for self, he does not fear of loneliness. He has with him, her to take care. Together they search for any sign to begin, the chariot to ride … “It is their life they have to embark on.” A dry wind is saying. He tries to stop the passing cars for a lift. A whistle and smokes rise from the ancient rail at a wink of green, signaled by a lean and coughing gourd. The station grows vast and lonely again. A freight car stops. They hike into, just then some white clouds deluge the scene beyond. A distant chime rings. © 2008 - All Rights Reserved Kushal Poddar Well I am off to a small vacation through the state of M.P. in India. I hope to bring much more of fresh writings once I return on 1st November. clever talks delay friendship! |

Yo Poddarku, This is a lovely poem about fraight hopping. Just watch out for that brakeman, and his big stick. He can hurt you, and won't care about it. Excellent work, I love it. Bobby |
