impossible possibility

does a dry rose

ever provide a throne

for a buzzing bee

can a drooping flower

carry in its bosom

drops of sweet honey

for a fluttering butterfly

will a hermit’s heart

ooze love

and rhythmically dance

to a young woman’s music

flight of hatchling

my life is like that of an eagle

taking care of her newly born chick

feeding in nest on top of the hill

away from all human habitation

i also carry mine to the mountain

to push her down to build that lasting

courage to enhance the flying skill

beyond boundaries of human limit

when hatchling knows her own to wing

and dive deep down into valley below

i will free self to soar high until

i’m lost above the drifting, dim cloud

road less travelled

road less travelled is the path

i want to traverse like the Man from Nazareth
refusing to flow with the flow
that had its benefit package and perks!

road less travelled is the path

not for the feeble and frail in heart and in soul
but only for those with a mind that Man
christ carried emptying emptiness of the world!

road less travelled is the path

of transformed non-conformity flowing
from the choice consciously made like the Nazarene
in wilderness battling the tempter!

road less travelled is the path

to death of that ego, the picking up the cross
to follow a crucified Master, the plain son
of a man with no place to lay his head!
