STAR
********
I saw that distant star,
Shining in the dark sky,
My ambition,on wings of imagination,
Started to fly.
The star was my target,
My distant goal in sight,
But the,dreary,deserted,path,
Blocked me in dark night.
I shivered in damp cold,
Heap of firefly was around me,
Light flashed for moments,
Thorny bushes,hardly, could I see.
I fell in a pit,no help, no lift,
I Came out,crawled,laid dull,
Shining star was inviting me-
My strength,desire was null.
Time paused;time passed on,
I rested in dark,unable to see,
Hell was this difficult passage-
Till first ray of light kissed me.
Surroundings flooded with glow,
Nature smiled with feather touch,
Golden path was ahead of me,
Panic vanished,pleasure so much.
Why did I opt, dark night travel ?
That difficult, horrible, risky walk-
When all comfort, luxury was there,
One option was ease,another, shock ?
Under damp sky,rainbow had frozen,
I walked,inhaling fragrance of air,
The broad day-light was guiding me,
But O! my target star was nowhere.
