On the Road

by Anjana Prabhu

[box]One could have so many experiences on the road. Here’s one such. Anjana Prabhu writes a poem.[/box]

On the road, I feel lost.
Though I know the road so well.
On the road, I stand and stare,
Though I know I need to be home.
On the road, I sit with rags,
Though I know my home is so near.
On the road, I stare at wheels,
Though I know I can ride the wheels.
On the road, I am at crossroads,
Though I know I can’t stand and stare.
On the road, I lay wide awake,
Though I know I could be trampled.
On the road, I stand and stare,
At the wild, where no road is there.
So, on the road, I stand and stare,
Picking the rags and so off I leap,
Into the wild, off the road,
To find a path, but not a road.

Anjana Prabhu is a neuroscience research student in the UK, and often gets lost in beauty, thoughts or both almost all the time; sometimes she feels she is an alien on earth!
