The Journey of Life – Madhu

My longest  journey has just begun

No preparations I enter the train

“This seat is mine” I proclaimed

The old man over there exclaimed

O’my girl , Is this your place

When you get off, someone is to replace

Without a word ,I sat there wondering

Seeing people around me wandering

Some were chatting, some fighting

A few others to themselves enjoying

My companions they are for a day or two

Strangers now, Will they be the same in the end too

Friendly smiles, some strange looks

Should I be in everyone’s good books

A few stepped away in the next stop

Fresh faces enetered in to fill the gap

Happy journey for a few, some  say tiring one

Will others experience  influence my own

In the journey of my life

I am the one who would ride

Noone could drive in my name

Neither can I  play another’s game

Is there anyone to judge my performance

Who else can ,than my own conscience
