In Pursuit

It’s time for a change

Time for some chalk and cheese

Says my inner voice

And I wonder why

A source of distraction during the day

A source of inspiration in dreams

The time is here upon me

But I keep dragging my feet

Only the foolish few dares...

Is it foolishness to dare?

Or is it just some bait?

I don’t know...

Poignant and scared I lay

With fears and apprehension on one side

With hope for the ascent on other

My intellect unable to comprehend

With the crack of dawn

Amid butterflies in my stomach

I decide to prod 

To drift towards a new location

What lies ahead?

And what shall pass...

All I know is to tread cautiously

The path less traveled

Beckon dreams and aspiration

That burning desire

To wither the storm

Sets me going

Rafting, I pursue the uncharted territory

Heart feels heavy with the sight

New lanes and new faces

Suddenly seems inviting

Or perhaps it’s just an illusion...

I don’t know...

‘Take life as it comes, play along with it’

The motto that ought to follow

Finding it, is a herculean task

Cannot be bought by money

For I’m sure but only by time

I settle, enjoying the tide

In pursuit of happiness
