The Track

I had resigned

To the barren land.

For a long while now.

Since the pursuit seemed fruitless

And exhausting.

Unless she crept in

From an unknown corner

While I was lost in daily chaos.

Was it a surprise?

A pleasant one?

Somewhere deep inside

I knew, she was there.

What took her so long?

Was she sleeping?

Or was I unaware?

Futile thoughts, I must say.

Now that I’ve got the whiff

I don’t want to lose myself

In the barren land again!
