I walk the road less travelled

to reach where it ends

bewildered I am stranded midway

where no man stands

 

they either pass through this stretch

or they simply climb that curve

and take that foot bridge

far more easier to walk through

as it has a sloping edge

 

where walking slow is cumbersome

running along leaves you breathless

yet it reaches till the end

 

but…

do they know where is this end?

or where it leads

this standstill end?

or is it just a word written

in gravel

on this charcoal floor?

or is it just another cloak ?

to cover that threadbare dress

in which my soul stays encased…
