Peeping through the window, she gazes at the green
The picture is all hazy and never before seen
She knows not how she boarded and where was the station
Nor can she know, what is her destiny or her destination
Her ride of life started when she was born
She is convinced it will surely end once she is gone
The charming Driver would never reveal His trait
The passenger, though aware of this, just has to wait
A distant opposite train approaches her slowly
The coaches cross and the eyes roll coldly
Alas! She is shocked to see herself travelling in that too!
Says the replica “This journey is in search of Him and I am You!”
One is the Journey inside-out, from birth till death
She, the traveler stays put till there is breath
The other Journey will take her outside-in, from self to soul
To realize the truth – ‘He is the part and He is the whole’!

Poet’s View:
Life is a 2-way journey – first – going through life’s cycle from birth to death and the second – realizing God and His omnipresence. The passenger in both the journeys is the same person – You. The female character has been considered to give the softer touch to the poetry. ‘She’ can be ‘Anybody’.
