Questions Answered

Created my vision,

Started walking down my journey,

Am I going to reach my Destination?

When I questioned, family answered:

This journey is not of our making,

Try amending, creating, deciding your vision, journey and destination.

I decided when I felt everything was fine and was mine,

but soon realised

I myself wasn't mine,

Felt like outsiders in home that was mine.

Am I not the creator of my own destiny?

When I questioned, unknown people answered:

This journey is not of our making,

Try amending, creating, deciding your vision, journey and destination.

After every passing day, my journey granulated like sand that had lasted eons,

like everyone has mirrored the same journey with bygones,

Am I just a reflection with no entity of my own?

When I questioned, life answered:

This journey is not of our making,

Try amending, creating, deciding your vision, journey and destination.

We need to keep going, as moving on is in our hand,

Like a traveller on it journey to destination,

Like the flowing river to the ocean,

Like the crashing waves to the shoreline,

Is this the apt way?

When I questioned, my consciousness answered:

This journey is not of our making,

Try amending, creating, deciding your vision, journey and destination.
