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?
