Vidyadhara ... - ! Journey

Quest of dreams in old tale,
Of towering ideals once heard,
Lost in the ceaseless time travel,
Dreams turning stale and cold,
Void as a beggars bowl;

Searching in desert sand dunes,
Tired thirsty and humdrum,
The pebbles of my lost dream,
Under the scorching heat and sun,
Lost in the harrowing life's stream;

Bound by the desire cage,
Sighting water as a haze,
Like an oasis in a desert range,
Approaching near to find a mirage,
Perseverance turning to rage,
Digging desert of desire under a blaze,

Lost in the darkness of moonlit night,
Searching the lost dream figment,
In the dusky dungeons like a Bat,
Darkness spreads nothing to sight,
Igniting moon makes illusion brighter,
Disappearing with clouds moving faster;

Stranded in the faraway deep blue sea,
Searching the dusky evading dreams,
With sun and blowing breeze,
With water up to the neck and brim,
Sighting shelter on a faraway shore,
Nearer I go finding nothing more;

Vidyadhara ...
