poetry 15

I HAD REACHED YOUR DOORSTEP
G. ALLANA 

I lost the scroll of instruction you gave 
To guide to the door of your house
I sat in distress on life cross roads 
And asked wayfarers and the caravans
To show me the way to my destination
Some said the way was long and tortuous 
You said it is short and delectable
Others opined it was narrow winding abd 
         uphill
You had said it is straight and universal
They should it is dream bigoted
        fanatics
You had said it is the ultimate really
In a world that is worth but a moment
Then you came and handed me the chart
I found i was sitting at the very gate
Not knowledge i had reached your doorsteps...
