A day into the woods

Stranded at the crossroads,

life shows no path to follow

Reflection of frequent warning boards,

I decided to walk solo

Waking up to a day filled with fear,

I looked up my car

As I alone had to steer

decided to drive far

Nilgiris' west end is filled with bends

For not less I drove across tribal livelihoods

My inquisitive search never ends,

To alone enter the woods

Sunbeam inflicted right into the skin,

For it demanded the need of shadow

As I drove along species of trees akin

There is so much to nature we owe

I drove back with a sense of peace

As I often cringe on my future,

Trees, mountains, falls, roads started to tease

Thank you, Dear Nature

Thank you, Dear Nature. 

Crack

 Crack:

A decade of a gap to fill
I have stretched too long
Hope is all that stands still
Conundrums follow and throng

A lot many times I fumble,
I developed the habit to depend
I confess my aberrations humble,
In no way do I justify and defend.

I look up to the life of others,
I smile and do not develop ire
Seeing them flying with colored feathers,
To fly along is my desire.

I slowly develop a feeling of guilt,
For not I want to be a hindrance
Without base is my life built,
I have no now and hence.

The crack is in a state to enlarge
I could not withstand the stretch
There is none I expect to barge
I want to jump off the edge
I want to jump off the edge..!
