Been Walking

Been walking for too long

Tripping, jumping, sprinting

Tiny beads of warm sweat glistening

On forehead, cheeks, nose and chin

Dripping languidly towards the nape

Think been walking for too long

Sometimes cool breeze blowing

Charcoal, spurned, plangent tress

Sometimes hot blazing sun

Blinding petite cocooned eyes

But the spirit never floundered

Think been walking for too long

Reposing under the copious Pipal tree

Its placid umbra renewing sinews

Beholding the jostling leaves I wonder

Who is lonelier of the divergent two?

Simpleton I or the stupendous you?

Think been walking for too long 

 Instant connect with all your leaves

Many travellers recoup under you

Content to be just one of them

Though you question if it will ever

I know, you know it will forever

Knowing you for umpteen years

Will know you for thousand more

Think been walking for too long

Too long….
