The Voyage of Life

---

A man walked the road all alone,
Without caring if summer,

 rain or spring was gone;

Failures could not take his belief from him away,

He was strong enough to protect his dreams

So that destiny had no role to play.
          

People started hating him, 

as if he was a criminal,

Some people felt his talent was phenomenal;

He did not care about criticism or the complement,

He was happy in his own world

Although he had no money

 in his pocket to pay his room’s rent.

Obstacles could not stop him 

from moving forward,

Neither had he ever complained, 

life to him was unfair or hard;

He never searched for someone’s hands 

when he felt down,

He stood by his own 

after he kissed the ground.

People never hit him with hands or slapped hard,

But sometimes tears did appear in his eyes

 listening harsh word; 

”Why are you people scolding me?” he never asked,

Rather he chose the silence and kept on moving forward.

His aim was higher,

His dreams were brighter;

So how could have he reached there so fast,

Still with dedication and belief he reached their at last.

He never stopped walking;

By seeing he reached where he intended;

Rather his dreams started to grow,

As if they were flexible to be called as “unlimited”.

He sacrificed his share of happiness,

He had to go through his share of pain;

What helped him keep going was

The challenge he took to never die as a common man.

On his last day, 

that man was sleeping on his bed,

Counting his last few breaths,

Remembering those moments between

His birth and the upcoming death…;

Told last few words-It’s story of every man, 

who never lose his faith,

Remember, there is no point in closing your eyes,

If you will ever let your dreams to fade.....

“ I walk this empty street ,
On the Boulevard of broken dreams,
Where the city sleeps…..
And I'm the only one…..

and I walk alone…. !!! “
