I was glad
that like the day,
the road too
stood at its end.
And I fell
to my knees,
my feet weary.
As I lay down,
I cradled my head
in the palm of my hand.
It was quiet.
But as the new day broke
I saw what I had not
in the dark of the night.
That the road had
that like the day,
the road too
stood at its end.
And I fell
to my knees,
my feet weary.
As I lay down,
I cradled my head
in the palm of my hand.
It was quiet.
But as the new day broke
I saw what I had not
in the dark of the night.
That the road had
turned and twisted,
and there I stood,
once again,
and there I stood,
once again,
at the very beginning.

@soumitra That was a lovely read. Melancholy. Sounds so much better. :)
I know :)someone had to articulate without that apologetic/pity inducing tone. THIS 'I’d much rather open the windows to the fragrant garden of melancholy, and spritz on something to go with ennui, reflection, wistfulness. Such a gentle perfume might smell like autumn rain, or a rain-damp windowsill infused with wilted, decaying roses and tears.' :)
