I have wandered
through many lives
and walked many roads,
I have lived
many stories
and enjoyed many roles,
been many heroes
and many a villain.
I have lived in palaces
and lived in huts, led massive
empires, and served as a serf
and seen both – crumble to dust.
I have climbed and fallen,
crawled and risen,
engaged and enjoyed,
loved and lost
and fought
and regained,
but all – at such a cost.
I have seen it all,
the pain and the joy
the gain and the loss,
and now – all I want
is to go home,
and get some rest.
Take me home…please take me home…
To You.
Dear Anjali,
This is a wonderful, beautiful poem. Than you for it.
I do really sense that we are all here, together, to walk each other home. We should not have to walk home alone.
All good wishes,
robert

Thank you Rajiv! I loved your ‘simple’ monochrome of the boat and the stillness it represented – tweeted you about it 🙂

I like the rhythm which helps give voice to the travel. Right on, with the ending.

Always a pleasure. I’d do it more – just barely able to catch my breath on my blog and am behind in getting back to readers. I was glad you put yourself on my radar.

I don’t recall much of any other identities – I see them somewhat sometimes… I’m busy enough though… we are home I think. I see myself there more so than any other form.
Happy blogging Anjali
