FREE.


On that exquisite road,
One to the horizon,
Which is encroached by wild flowers,
Where you have empathetic sun.

When at every turn,
you are made to think,
how wasted your life would be,
if you had never seen...

The wind kisses your face,
And butterflies cross your way,
The indifferent cow makes you realize,
That this life is not a race.

You ride at your own pace,
Instead of those electronic lights,
There are these humble trees…
You stop when you want to,
And you resume when you feel like,
Here every decision is yours.

On that road you meet yourself,
and you know man is very small.
But you don’t want to compare,
There is just so much glee.
At that moment,
When you thank the heavens,
You know ‘you are free’.

  8. When population is less, not too many people are vying for that spot on which you are standing, your survival is not at stake, then you don't need electronic lights to monitor your race, then you don't need to despair by the knowledge that you are small, rather you exult in that feeling!

    But when the survival is at stake, if you stop someone is going to bump you from behind, you are scared that unless you are fit enough to survive then you will cease to exist, that is when you forget to enjoy the journey and get into that (rat?) race.

    The biggest challenge of our generation (and perhaps the ones to follow) is to enjoy our existance even when being (nearly!?) run over by the honking vehicle behind you....maybe that is the only way we can "meet ourselves"...
