Aslam M Dec 2023
Endless striving, a cycle unrestrained,
Attempts that falter, efforts sustained.
Persisting through failure, undeterred,
In pursuit of dreams, the soul stirred.

What drives us forward, relentless in try?
Is it the goal's allure or lessons from sky?
Unaware, perhaps, of a truth concealed,
"Having lacks pleasure rather than wanting”

Destiny's playful twist,
Time's labyrinth unfolds,
Optimism in every thread.

Are we simple souls
Packed  in flesh and bones.
Living in the present
Accepting or Rejecting
Experiencing a War
Inside and Outside.
Day after Day
Night after Night.
Wins or Loss.
Hardly matters.
Simple Souls are we not.
Who leave after a while..

I rode by a Cemetary today
A very old one
I had never seen before
The headstones...people here
Long before me
Lay there resting
Did they know anyone
Who rest there with them?
Very likely
Did they love anyone
Who rest there with them?
Even more likely
It made me incredibly emotional
To know how much past loves
Were resting there
It made me happy to think love existed
But it made me sad that it also ended


(Sometimes I think too much)

There is an upheaval
Unleashed by the unknown
Of what’s in store

Familiar the terrain
Unfettered the mind explores
The unknown
