Come, Walk with me - Version 2 Poem

Come, Walk with me – Version 2

Praveen Kumar January 11, 2021 2 min read

I was a lonely traveler, walking the path, that no one never dares to, that no one never dreams;

I wandered lonely as a cloud, taking me where the path took me, taking me where the wind blew me to, I wandered like a long lost traveler;

many a times, I was lost, many a times, I was wounded;

still determined, to carry on, I pushed myself, to continue;

I never looked left, I never looked right, like a bridled horse, I only looked straight and carried on, on and on and on;

until one day, the path i was so long travelling, led me to a cross-road;

I thought the path I was in, was mine and no one else would be here, it was my little secret path, or so I assumed;

now standing in front me, with an outstretched hand, stood a stranger, in the middle of cross-road;

an outstretched hand, with a sign, “come, walk with me”;

I stand here on the edge, confused, perplexed, I stood still, wondering;

do i stop here?, do i go back?, or do i go forward and walk the path with the stranger;

I stood there, looking at the sign, that says, come, walk with me;
