I wander off way too far
It’s uncomfortable being in the zone
Leaving no traces of my steps
Not a metaphorical journey
A real escape to find freedom
It might be in the mind
Is not the mind a universe?
Leaving footsteps on firm land
May not yield that pleasure
Whether it is wilderness
The most crowded attractions
Another universe is less travelled
I am forgetful
A trait that is unpardonable
Talkativeness is noticed
Communication that is preferred
No, it is not my arrogance
If I fail to reply or notice everything
There it leads me somewhere
The visions at an appropriate time
Urges me to lose myself
Disconnect and journey further
It will be easy to forget my presence
My words won’t be read either
Maybe, I will forget to invite
My fault; that I have surrendered
To an unknown reality
Where it all started, I know not
Wish I could explain the knot
Of a world that perplexes itself
My words may be inconspicuous
Neither artistic nor crafted delicately
What do I know?
When I miss the pulse of this journey
There must be a disconnect
With the kind of expectations
That creativity is seeking
It could be a murmur or terse rejection
Obey, or you can take a stroll forever
Let’s not stop pontificating
The cliches sound more interesting
Lest I forget the journey
My purpose that I seek in this

What happens if you happen to replace the ‘r’ in the driver with a looney ‘l’.
