When you are away from the spotlight
Walking alone through the silent streets
The moonlight comes to your rescue
Blinded by the dazzling artificial lights
The eyes take time to adjust to nature’s light
Cobbled street seems familiar to you
Compared to the sleek roads you traveled
With each step, you walk toward oblivion
Away from the crowd and cacophony
You can hear a voice calling your name
It’s a euphoric feeling to hear a genuine calling
Only when you have relinquished the burden
You feel one with yourself, an overpowering sense
To see things in new light and a new path ahead
Silent traveler along this cobbled street
Unknown destination, but keep walking
World is your abode as ye shall seek true happiness
The journey has just begun for you ©
Amazingly written!

Last month I took a ‘new road’ here in the realm of the interconnective blogosphere, far away from the crowd and the cacophony where I was drowning in a sea of things … so resonate deeply with your words today Amitav.
I do not strive for life’s gold watch, I want more than anything to come home …. there can be no other ‘memorable walk’ for me. Sometimes, sometimes we read just the right words, today dear poet, yours were mine. 🙂

Deborah, I believe, that the course of our life changes based on our personal choices and some external factors which we cannot control, but again both have their consequences. Inadvertently, sometimes, the bad experiences lead us to the right path. It is said how people act is their prerogative but how we react determines our karma. Of all, you know that the adage, ‘whatever happens, happens for the best’ is true after all. Now that you have found this new platform and you are more in control of things it will help you express your creativity lot more freely and reach out to more readers who can give a constructive critique. No one can take away the exceptional skill that you have and your work will always be appreciated, for sure. Wishing you the best. 🙂

Oh Yes, Somali. It takes courage to walk away from the known path and start a new journey.
