dreaming the destiny

from wilderness i returned home

journeying by shallow but longer channels

creeping also through constricting tunnels!

i did move fast on a flat road

by a motorized vehicle

continuously getting wet

and traveling with the threat

of being run over by trains

coming from the opposite direction

with no space to step out

of the narrow burrows

making longer waiting a necessity!

and more were temptations to pick

unwanted luggage strewn and scattered

by an earlier trekker like me

helplessly lost control of his walk

prowling always

Satan, i observed, working hard

day and night establishing influence;

he is there when warmly welcomed

or deliberately denounced!

Satan, i see, likes all forms of attention

no matter whether it comes dressed

in negativity, a sense of rejection

or in a form of positive appreciation

Satan is like that puppy

never taking my ‘no’

as my genuine answer

to leave me alone!
