Endless Pursuit


Rocky roads, harsh terrains beckon me
Gladly I accept them as destiny
Dark clouds, endless horizon looms ahead
For turning back though I was not made
No shimmering moon to light my way
No bright sun to guide my day
Thunder and winds, rain and storm
Crash against me, as is their norm
No soul to keep me company
Loneliness...my only retreat
Will I find solace in the end
Is there happiness at the bend
Hope, though is long dead
Endless is this path, which I tread

  1. I walk a lonely road
    its the only one i've ever known
    Don't know where it goes
    I'm the only one and I walk alone!
    -Boulevard of broken dreams

    And ya..to the question in the last line. Don't search for happiness, don't long for it. Be aware and at every moment, that the miracle is in the here and now :)

  3. Hey Beautiful peace dude, painful though..

    Thou that walketh alone,
    Fear not -
    for if thou hast deserted hope
    Hope shall find thee...

  6. yes, happiness is just a bend away!

    and my stance to it is:

    endless dark cross roads
    the ones that take you no where,
    lead me to places!


    haiku yes :)

  11. @Ms. R
    it talks of the pursuit of hope...and hoping to find hope...and the last two lines just conclude that the pursuit was an endless one:)
