“
Time traveller
He calls himself a time traveller,
He travels anywhere and anytime,
He is a very adept traveller,
Who knows how to bypass time,
We once met suddenly,
When the traveller was travelling the highway of life,
He was pacing very efficiently,
And that day I happened to be on the same highway of life,
As I was about to cross a junction,
He stopped there too,
And enquired if I knew how this highway of life did function?
“I may not know that better than you,”
Was my polite and slow answer,
“Ah haa, you appear to be a stranger on this highway,
Come let me introduce you to few tricks old and quite a few newer,
So, come let us go this way.”
Said the traveller as we both stepped on the highway,
And paced towards a destination of his choosing,
It was a beautiful experience anyway,
Though his few ways were very amusing,
Then we stopped at a far away corner,
And he pulled something from his bag,
He was smart but this thing seemed smarter,
He opened it and removed the safety tag,
Now he turned to me and said,
“Look at the sky, what do you see?”
And I without being reticent said,
“The sky, the Sun, that is all I see,”
Looking at me he replied, “I thought so, and here is the fact,
You see the sky and just the Sun,
But you miss the real act,
Time invested cannot be undone,
You see I am a time traveller and I travel with it,
Today on this highway, tomorrow on another,
But I never miss the destination even by a bit,
And as we were walking together,
I asked you what you see when you look at the sky,
You should have said, nothing, I have no time for it,
Because the Sun will be there, so will be the sky,
Being the time travellers we are not allowed to sit,
We have to keep on moving and always seeking,
Until we reach our destiny,
Now this for you is my lesson worth heeding,
If you are to find your final destiny,
So let the Sun be, let the stars shine, and let the sky spread its magical blue,
You keep travelling, moving, from one destination to another,
Then you shall be a time traveller too,
Like none other, like none other,
So we switched lanes on the highway,
He rode in a direction new,
And now I was a lone rider on my life’s highway,
Having realised what is known to just a few,
That to be the time traveller,
We should not wander but travel with a fixed aim,
Because a true traveller is like a true lover,
Who knows love and destiny are not a game,
So for the real time traveller, it is always one destiny and one love,
Though crossing many destinations is a part of it all,
But the passion for love and to love,
Supercedes the lure of destinations all!
Now I often see the time traveller on the highways that I cross,
We just bow our heads and move ahead,
Because we have a destination to cross,
To reach the final destiny of love, and in this pursuit we shall always stay ahead!
