A fulfilled life
Is a path well travelled
The ditches fell into
As a part of the process
Stinking of the Gutter
But a lot wiser
Not feel humiliated
But a sense of pride
Fell into it inadvertently
Least a lesson and
Never fell again
For the same reason
Mountains to climb
A few successfully
A few withdrew
Took a detour
Not felt like a failure
Just a fish out of water
Chose the next best thing to do
Felt good about the travel
Ticketless it ain't
Self respect didn't allow that
Gained some failed some
Cocktail of experience
Not to get a sense of high
But to remain stable in the head
Full in the heart
What more can one ask for
Memories doesn't make you sour
Future lush green or barren
Not even in thought
Living in the present
Crossing the road
From past to future
Taking a turn no more to return
Looking at the mirror
To get its permission
When the rear view mirror
Doesn't reflect the road
But the integrity of your soul
Needs don't die with death
One final request beats inside
You need 4 to
Carry you from the floor
Visiting card to show
When whatever awaits
At the next door
Got your Four
More were ready to carry
To the gates of
Your next journey
A life well lead
Fulfilled with respect
A few regrets
Not human otherwise
If regrets none
Buy a one way ticket
As no more trips
Back here
Signed off forever
With no signature required
