This room, the light
wearing truth’s attire
In it, I’m sitting.
I must sit calm, and be
Until there is light around and within.
This moment, is the flight
That I boarded
from the beginning.
The luggage, I must keep aside
There is enough space
I have packed everything safe
I must lay down the weight
For my mind, at least for now
It needs to be clean.
The seed from the past,
Their broken branches and leaves
The fruits they would bear
The future I dream
It’s still there in my heart
In the present, it’s safely buried.
I must sit calm, remembering
In my breath I exist.
What to worry
The destination was
inevitably destined.
The bags have been kept
The flight is on time,
On the track,
perhaps safely aligned.
In the end it will surely land
On a conclusion –
An end or a Beginning.
Every journey continues somewhere. If It’s Time stayed with you, perhaps Universe – The Loaner or the Loanee is where your next question begins.
