Nameless (5)

the joy of strolling on a lonely road

     not travelled in the recent past 

nourished by the shadow of the trees

     standing guard and welcoming travellers 

only the pebbles change their places

     because they have no choice

age-old darkness creeps in at the dusk

     pencils of light enlightening the dawn

only time changes

     the joy in taking the path 

that had been taken long ago

rumbling noises of foot-steps searching their destiny

     the chaotic silence of the frustrated crowds

insane thoughts running about

     in search of corners to settle down

dilemmas doing justice

     looting spaces among the sediments of security

seeking the unknown or unknowingly seeking

     the temple of confusion

life ─ a dilemma

       a second thought

       a package of confusion

                or just life itself
