Journeys

A short poem... (that should be read slowly, while having a nice cup of tea.)

    Journeys

    I like travelling
    Slow miles unravelling
    over forests, farmlands
    and quiet hills meandering
    on journeys to nowhere.

    I like wandering
    watching and pondering
    each moment marvelling
    at life unfolding
    as I pass along this way.

    I like brooding
    by seasides soothing
    by waters calming
    on grey stones falling
    the moondance of tide
    ebbing and flowing
    on journeys we make, somewhere.

    I like travelling
    life unravelling
    as we pass this way
    going somewhere
    and nowhere.

       – Jogyata.
