Another Route

At the sight of first light, even before all other eyes are ready to dream

Of a future that is obedient to the desires, and think of closing the boundaries

How they will advance is discussed excitedly, philosophically and apprehensively

Emotions are poured in a vessel in anticipation of a favourable potion

Life can tame time and redirect it through a convoluted space; an artificial path

Like the disobedient journeys taken by the rebellious crowds- marauding time

Dreaming of a victory over mortal feelings, as if there is another door to escape
