Promise of A New Day

Walking moving, stopping, running….!

The pace quickens..heartbeat pumping…

sweat trickling down.. rushing to its destination…

feet hurting…eyes smarting…

muscles screaming….

yet I push on….

heading to nowhere…

mesmerised by the promise…

of a destination…to reach…

where life is supposed to begin…

where this beat can slow down

where my head can finally see colours

nowhere…i need to reach you fast…!

my feet is blistered…

my throat is parched…

my palm is damp…

and my fingers all twisted

The wind …even the wind is cold

whipping my face…

my skin is cracked…

the pores screaming for some closure!

my eyes blinded…

by the light of the promise

I see nothing…

fleeting scents race behind me…

trying to reach me

trying to tempt me…

but I’m still running….

…still running….
