I walked & walked in search of something unknown,
Trying hard to realise what it was,that I looked for
Happiness or contentment or company?
Or for the warmth of a loving friend-
Who would spare his shoulder when I'm down
Who would comfort me just with his consoling silences!
I do not know still..
I went places, met so many on the way
Some who shared my plight , I met
Some who had gone too far ahead of me
They who were once far behind , I realised
When had I slowed down in the race called life?
What had made me just bask in my past glory?
I do not know still..
My friends who were once always around me
Had now turned too busy with their lives
Or not just them, I also was acting busy
What change life has brought in all of us
The very same kids who once happily ran around
Today all I see are busy, worried men & women!
Why so, I do not know...
All I hear everywhere is just about plans & career
Nobody talks of the silly beautiful things of life
Not anymore do I see people sipping a hot coffee
Thinking of not any big things, but litte things
Like the love of their life or the sweet memories of past
How sweet that coffee was, but it no longer happens in our life
Why, I do not know..
Or is it just that time that I'm beginning to know..
I think it is, I have to realise the truth
Sweet or bitter, that this is life afterall
That what happens when you keep wondering, is life
But tomorrow, would I be sad that I was just
A mere spectator who just didnt realise
That he too had a part to play....
