Why This Journey?
For the Malayalam version, click
here.
Why did we start this journey?
Again, I ask this question
To an invisible God.
We stand silently before the funeral pyres
And then walk hastily through this path;
Why are we continuing this journey?
I ask again.
How am I to lie on these silvery sands
On the banks of this jungle stream
And doze in a sweet slumber
To float along with the clouds?
How am I to hear the lullaby
That will make me sleep on your laps?
How am I? when this never-ending journey
Leaves me with questions and no answers?
Today, I continue this journey
With faltering steps
Climbing this steep, slippery path
Without beginning or end.
Before I go
Let me give back
The dream you gave me
And the flute you lent me.
For the last time, I ask
Where does this journey lead?
