"From then till now"

I am at an age when life can go both ways
I feel I have experienced enough, but No!
No more than the tip of my brow, says my friend
Life has just started; you have just started to go.

In my sleep all alone with my dreams, I travel back
To the point of creation, of this thinking mind of mine,
Of this thoughtful soul I hold onto dearly
And the body my identity got wrapped in.

My self never rooted to one place, traveling all around
Across oceans, desserts and many a land of opportunity
I grew with the open light of what has to come will come,
And when some day I reach, I’ll feel it and what I want I’ll become.

Life's values taught to me, I held on deep in my conscience,
With helping hands and the touch of love,
The friendly shadows I walked in its sight, into this world
With a mind clear, thought I could see wrong from right

Every now and then close my eyes and admire the beauty of my creation
Thank the imaginary force that took me from then to here, but
On the move before I could set foot, change was a part of this journey,
Where I head to or what I look for I know not, do I even need to?

As my dream explored the recent flashes of my life
I feel I have been suppressed, hurt and shut out
Guilty of receiving more than what those hands could give
Holding on to a web I weaved for years now, was it one of deception?

Intuition gone wrong, direction lost, gave in to my deepest fears
Is it time to stop and turn around; Are the shadows still following me?
Tears in my eyes always of joy, now in sadness, my heart held in its sway
Is the ground giving way, am I falling, are my dreams failing me?

Got out of my dreams in sweat and tears, this morning,
Feels like I already lived my life and just woke up for one more chance
What matters to me and what’s dear to me still I have not chosen
Almost then a healing touch I feel from someone close, someone I've known

Familiarity in sense, the image is there I see not, but I feel
Was it a sign I need to follow, Is someone trying to talk to me?
What’s in the air this morning, refreshing and strangely soothing?
I fade into my calm self as a silent sigh escapes my lips.

Something tells me, its time for me to move on to the west again
The search for my destiny is on, someone walking me through the steps
The haze is moving, my destination getting clearer and nearer
Is this the end of the journey or the path to the beginning?
