JOURNEY- A Poem by Abrar Ahmad

JOURNEY

Abrar Ahmad

I am on a journey or the journey is happening within me.

I am in search of destinations, the paths are changing.

Like a petal on every flower, I am experiencing the ups and downs of life.

I am like a drop, merging with the wind, setting out on a journey.

I am like a paused breath, changing colors like the weather, like a cloud.

I am like that...

I am like this...

What can I say, how am I...

I wanted to say that now I am like you.

Touching the soul, like adorning the eyelashes.

Tying threads, breaking the hopes.

I am like that flower, like that wind, which doesn't fall when it breaks, which doesn't stop in the sunlight.

I was near the destinations, but the destinations were not found.

I was alone, wandering.

I was searching for a hope, afraid to think.

I thought I would find someone like me, but I didn't.

The solution to the distance was far from me.

Writing was the solution, but it wasn't separate from the journey.
