His travelogue ======================= The quiet cold of the stream flows over the gravel. Sun is kissing the vapor. “Will you play a tune please, guitarist?” She says, a girl who blends in the landscape. An upsurge of the sounds like a giggle flow with the mountain stream on the pebbles. Where are you? Here’s the tune, Happy Princess. The mute bridge and lonesome streaks of dull sun. In search of that girl who plays a trick of disappearance, the boy sets on a whimsical wanderlust. Hills, plains, seas and rivers. Deserts. He meets with the men who do not know the girl or even their own things on the left-side of their chests. He smiles and saluting them resumes his journey again. Some body must have known her. He meets others of this world. Rich and poor. Like them the orphans, smiling and believers. With them he goes to see the home. Of course they do not know her or where her home is. And, the world is an orphanage itself. He takes a bow and commences his quest for the girl who has induced a tune out of his guitar. And days pass. Maps unify. The reason peters out. The path takes that place. He is no more a lover of one girl. He is a traveler, eternal. And, it is in the path one day she comes. He smiles and embraces life beyond life that she has been always. clever talks delay friendship! |

Poddarku, This is very good. Your concept of the world being an orphanage is very profound, and true. We are all waiting to be adopted. Bobby |

The serendipitous return of the 'mystery' girl is apparently a welcome event in young man's journey. Another insightful write, dear poet. |

Dear Ku, you took me on a wondrous journey with this one, where I love to move and flow in the mystery, yet through it all perceiving the main ingredient of life so fully: Love. You have written a wonderful piece of poetry yet again! Love, Margherita |
