A Few More Moments

Many a time
my body, my soul gets hurt
while walking the tiring path of life,
and my eyes start searching for
the destination,
at least a tree,
Some broad shades, adequate rest.


Too many mirages mock at me .
Caring very little about those ,
I look at the gores and blisters
on my body .
Knowing  well that the ones residing
in my soul are even deeper ,
I tighten up my chin .

I caress myself, telling -
" A few more moments ,
Receive a bit more than what you thought ,
and the tide will be yours !"

Wonderful poem, well written. Kept me flowing and breezing through your words. Nice description and pace.
"Many a time

"Knowing well that the ones residing
in my soul are even deeper ,
I tighten up my chin ." Very powerful and reaches all types of people! Well done!
