Poem: Paradox of My Journey
Where did I come from? Where am I? Where do I go?
Poem: Paradox of My Journey
I am here, now
From where did I come?
A past that doesn’t exist anymore
To where would I go?
A future that doesn’t exist yet
So -
from nowhere to nowhere
what is this journey all about?The prints in the sands-
of time washed away now
the new prints on which I stand
would be washed away too
I stand perplexed -
my heart filled with regrets
my head full of memories
the fear of moving my feet
for the prints may vanish againIf I have nowhere to go
would I be ever lost?
If where I came from
I could never go back -
would I ever be found?I am a nobody
from nowhere
going to nowhere
I wonder -
what journey is this all about?~Ashok Subramanian © 2024
“For him, it was a dark passage which led to nowhere, then to nowhere, then again to nowhere, once again to nowhere, always and forever to nowhere”. ~Ernest Hemingway
