The End of My Journey
The winds lifted me up
And pushed me
Towards there
Where roads, four in all,
Diverged!
Upon each one of these
Was written on a signboard
Their destination!
One was Love, One was Faith,
One was Mundanity and one was Inexistence!
Aimless and lost in a world
Which belongs not to me
Aimless and lost
Fed up even,
I already knew which one
Of these I had to choose
As,
The skies and the power that
Rule them
Have already guided me upon my way!
There was where Love sparkled,
Brightly
Upon its signboard
There, where the mere thought
Of it
Melted the stony Queen
That inhabited me!
I chose to clip off my wings
And to walk
Towards where I am fated
But,
Dismayed was I
To find a no entry sign there,
Hidden by the leaves of a huge
Maple tree
Almost, as if,
The sign was ashamed of itself
Merely for being there!
I swallowed my gulp
Bit my lips
Fought my tears
And hid
The shattering noise of my heart
As it broke into pieces
Which would never ever
Be able to be assembled back together
As,
No one
Has ever witnessed
Typhoons' reformation after their
Natural disintegration!
So,
I chose to cover my head with my veil
And to kneel
To pray,
Asking the skies
To be merciful towards me
As I took the lead in my own fate!
I walked towards there
Where it was written
Inexistence!
The road there was murky and dark
No winds blew there,
No birds chirped
No rain fell, no sun shined,
No love felt
No tears shed,
No battles won or even lost,
Why,
There was nothing there!
And there was where I chose to go
Knowing that no more
Was I to be tormented
No more was I
To even pretend
Or to even try not to sin!
There,
Was bliss
And there
Was the end of my journey!
