We all have the habit of comparing our life with many things .More often , we compare life with the journey by Train .Train is like our life in this world in itself .We get into the train and travel to our destination which is already fixed.In between , we see different people travelling in and out of our train with different purposes, work and destination.Sometimes we talk,laugh and mingle with them till we or they reach their place outside the Train at some specified station. I learned that sometimes when we are unhappy in our life, comparing with things like this does miracle with your mind making it to feel much better.I tried to convey this message through a poem and here is it for you.
It’s my arrival
I am surrounded by relatives and friends
smiling happily at my arrival
passing sweets and chocolates
celebrating my coming home
It’s my departure
I am surrounded by relatives and friends
crying sadly at my departure
passing consolation from one another
feeling sad of my going away from home
It’s my journey
In between my arrival and departure
I am caught between my purposes of my life
Learning the secrets of love and giving
During my journey,
I meet all sorts of people from 6 to 60's of age
Both healthy and sick, but traveling the same
As stations comes, few people get out of the train
Leaving place for the ones who come in
The people moving about, I watch them accustomed
I pridely await for my departure that is yet to come
I ‘m traveling my route with the best of my dream
Making my life worthy to remember with gleam
I don't care of my arrival or my departure which is certain
But what matters to me is my ride on this train
So during the end which would be my last rest
People should say,
“There goes the soul which had lived a life to its best”
This is a good perspective on the journey of life............I especially love the last line! Thank you for this poem:)
ReplyDeleteYour comparison of life's journey to the journey of a Train is similar to my description of life's journey through "The Between." I hope to keep in touch with your journey as you keep in touch with mine. It is good for one writer to support another. Happy writing.
