Birthday Present
April 26, 2006 by haziamyperspective
I used to be a poet during my schooldays. No, I haven’t written a poem ever since I was 15. Anyway, just recently, someone who meant a lot to me requested for an unusual present for his birthday…yes, a poem! That got me started, before I knew it, that long burried creative juices came pouring out, heheh…Here goes…
The Tale of a Traveler
We are all travelers in this big globe of life
At times you bump into other travelers
Some add colours and spices to your journey
Maybe you ‘click’ and then continue sailing together
Others stop for a while to greet you
Touch your heart without realising it
Sometimes their gestures are too dearly
You enjoy their company while it lasts
And find yourself missing them after that
Hoping that your paths would cross again
And the encounters would be different somehow
Wishing that they are more than just passing by
Nothing beats the special moments when you meet that someone
And you want to stay longer
You pray that he would stay with you
Heaven if he does…
But then he may already have another passenger with him
You say goodbye
Pack your bags
And continue your journey alone with a broken heart
Hoping that the pain would fade away
When you reach the next destination
That’s the tale of a traveler
- Ends -
My fellow travelers, buckle up and enjoy your rides!
