Some of the most beautiful books I have read so far speak of the soul’s journey to meet its mate. The feeling of completeness, an ultimate ecstasy is what the soul longs for ever since its inception.  A fleeting desire to reach out to that sole soul mate, consumes one every now and then. With the deepest strains of the heart echoing this dire want, the weary traveler yearns for his final sojourn….

 

My Sojourn Finale

Gazing beyond the horizon

Peering over the setting sun

Fiery, Blazing and Crimson

Transcending pastoral stretches

Spreading the soul’s tentacles

Alas! Vicissitudes of fate’s clutches…

 

Breaking free of shackles..

Cleansed of the stains of yore

Soaring higher and higher

Floating….

                   but with a rudder.

 

Victims of this ravenous desire

Yearning for that elusive cadence

Defying all known prudence

Led by the light of Providence……..

 

A fuelling thrust in the gut

Revealing along the strut

Doors that were shut….

 

Doubts plague and daunt

Fears gnaw and taunt

But retreat I can’t…..

 

Souls divined to commune

To thwarts and failings are immune

Uniting in heavenly tune…..

 

Relentless, my search will be

Reveling the glory of “We”

Following the footsteps of destiny

My beckoning beacon lit by Thee……….

 

Eyes of the heart full of cognizance

Tacit words echoing in silence

Pristine purity sans pretense……

 

Untouched by the thorns of Time

Hearts beating in Rhyme

Beings fitting like lock and key

Your soul filling me…..
