Life is beautiful

The roads of gold

There are highs and lows in every person's life but some of the lows are not as low. No matter how successful a person is there is always something more that he/she keeps seeking out for. This is a never ending journey or maybe it ends only with life itself. I think that these different strokes that paint life makes life ever more beautiful and worthwhile. My journey still continues and I still am in search of some of the answers. Enjoy the poem that I wrote sometime back but it holds its ground even today.

The Roads of Gold

I reached the roads of gold
Upon which I hold
my breath and wonder,
If I can be one common man again?

I journeyed through the storm, battled all and won
but now I wonder,
Why many wish and die to reach such pedestal high?

Or am I a freak
who lost his way to reach,
The roads paved with gold that now no purposes serve
But I was destined to deserve?

Through life's queer passage where seasons adorn the age
I continue to walk this road, hoping all I ask
By virtue of its own, unmask.
