Each of us travels to fulfil some dream,
Some money or fame
- to claim -
some fortune or some kind of experience in between.
Some of us travel with hopes in tow,
Some Vibhuti to protect us,
some airport outfits putting on a show.
Some of us travel to tie or cut a cord,
An upcoming marriage, a seething betrayal or another discord.
Some of us travel for the unknown world to be seen,
Money maybe tight, but thriftiness and discounts are companions
making impossibilities possible, it seems.
Some of us travel first in our memory and our head,
Remembering places that touched us mostly on our tongues while we were fed,
at some chai-ka-stall, someone's perfect idli or Maggi,
that convinced us once of living in the present,
So we still recall the incident completely.
Some travel to a land far away,
that used to be theirs,
But now physically, with time it's a stop on a holiday.
Some travel to show others somehow,
their choice is the Best,
They possess all the magic, the smart ropes and the Know-How.
Some of us just get up and go with the flow,
stopping where we want,
Not forcing a jump start every morning,
No first-in-line medals to gloriously show!
Some of us tick by ticking off a list,
Where once long ago, people had a spoonful of desires,
Modern Life now has made that vessel a deep Bucket
with unending achievements to acquire.
We travel to be advised on Happiness by a wise man, a woman or two...
Themselves, they, while travelling worldwide,
state how our travels should or could be downsized.
That kept within the confines of our mind
without having to possess a passport,
immense pleasure we will find.
Some of us stop travelling,
because we travel only in and to the past,
no vehicle can get us there faster, than regret, anger or a broken heart.
We finally all move 'in travel' towards a light, an energy, a person, a thing,
whether this is visible outside or hidden within,
This light and energy has a mission and calls us towards its entity or being.
Our memories, our thoughts, our emotions
are being formed in the time used for this travel,
before, after and while our wheels spin.
