I Was On Cross Road!

Strange I am,
I think different,

Whatever things,
I like not,
liked by others,
whatever I like,
Not liked by others!

I opened my heart,
Others then felt bad.
Open heart of them,
Looked ugly to me!

Whenever I laugh,
They felt as cough,
But for my every cough,
They enjoyed their laugh,

My every tears
they enjoyed,
My enjoyment,
Made them hard.

I loved life and them,
They live forgetting love!
So I was at cross road,
What to do and
what not to do!

I stood where,
Four roads met,
Life -was my pet
How can I set?

One road lead to town
Another to mountain,
Third one to forest,
Fourth, where dead rest!

A piece of rope,
Or loss of hope,
I stood at by a yard,
Away from road to graveyard!

I thought of solitude
haunting in multitude,
I stood at road to forest,
Where I may get some rest

Looked at the mountain,
I thought my life can sustain,
like that lonely mountain
it became inspiring fountain!

I took the way to town,
Removed masks of clown,
I stood there as lovely tree,
I kicked off idea of other three!

I built a house by side of the road,
My mind became clean and broad,
I gazed at passers on street,
My thought really is treat,

Fed of pains and sorrow,
Shed off all thoughts narrow,
Fed birds and animals and men,
Started using book and pen!

I felt solitude everywhere
And carried to anywhere,
Worked like a horse or ox
Removed all that were hoax!

No pain, no strain, no stain of guilt!
Life full of rain and green
Life full of love and compassion
Happiness and bliss I felt!

Alone in company of all;
With all, when I am alone
Escaped the great fall
Gained lost paradise on own!
