A journey
Poet: Muniza Wasi
By: Muniza Wasi, Karachi

while walking freely on a lovely path
with the sweet wind playing with my hair
I closed my eyes; my heart ever so light
continued to walk in ecstasy
the air scented with fresh fragrances
the clouds chasing each other
I tried to take it all in
got so excited; even forgot myself
raised my arms, soared high in the sky
higher and higher still i went
never realizing the distance I traveled
away from the path that gave me power
thought reached my destination finally
and alighted in a foggy atmosphere
when I was able to see......ohhhh
had landed in a valley of thorns
wasn't it similar to the one I escaped earlier
I kept thinking while searching it
had lost the strength to escape it again
had lost my heart too
just sat and thought, nd thought nd thought
would I ever find that lost path again.
