Crossroads – By Dr. Ritu Dewan
Each step I take
I find new crossroads
Arms wide open
One step
And
Hundred paths cropping
I want to tread them all
I love
Their experiences and their dreams
All seem true
A sad yearning envelops me
I want to enter into the depths
I don’t know what I ‘ll find
I see
A spark of diai in every stone
That every heart has a restless soul
That
Every voice has an epic pathos
In a second
I want to race through them all
I wish to swim through every heart.
Thus
I live myself in many ways
How strange is life
Giving me a story
Whenever I stand or talk
I discover big novels,
Sad stories,happy tales,
Passionate outbursts
Angry grievances,
Pride justified,characters dissected
Poems of love,
Passion of promise,
Tributes
And Obituaries
And
When I gather them all
Armloads
I feel
I must live more
At home
Again
I find crossroads
Dividing in hundred
Tributaries
Novel sights and subjects
Meet me
And I feel
Life’s span is measured
And
One can’t measure them all.
