Walking on!

I’m a traveler too

And every day I travel miles

Longing to reach my destination someday

I trudge along

Sometimes with tears and sometimes with a smile

 

I have a sole friend

Always guiding me

Just that he is way too far

He is Polaris the star

And every time pain adds to my woes

I look up with the comfort that at least someone knows.

 

I walk alone

Sometimes one joins me

We walk a few miles together

Walking through moments, memories, nights and days

Eventually reaching a crossroad

Where we part our ways

And soon everything becomes the past

Yet again I face the fact

That nothing good shall ever last

 

Only I know the yearning I hide inside

To share my journey with someone

Who would walk with me all my life

I wait for that companion every breath

To find her I constantly strive

Alas that hope yet again fades away

As true love yet again evades my way

 

One day I shall win

Find my own place, my own people

Away from all this chaos and all this din

Where love and joy shall soar

Where I won’t be alone anymore

Until then I walk alone

Leaving my marks along the path

For another lonely traveler

So he walks with this in his heart

“Walk on and though you have to go far

You’ll win in the end, I know

Because I was, where you are!”
