As I move on…

a poem by Asha Sunil

Me- an universe of atoms
An atom in this universe
I’ve begun this journey- destination unknown
Each phase-the time to prepare to move
The love for myself drives me
On and ahead those milling crowds
And what I gather in the sea of life
Is just to ensure that I reach the shore
Never am I lost-for I do believe
That the place I am now-is yet another home
And when I leave-I bleed not
Because there is still something left unexplored
I know the journey is long and slow
But to make it worthwhile shall be my goal
I may be forgotten here-my footsteps erased
There is no heartache-for a traveller knows
That moving on is the way it goes…
