Of Maya and Madira

It was a long journey 

Of seeking 

Not knowing what to seek

How to seek

Where to seek

Why to seek 

It was a long journey

Of discovery 

Sometimes, talking to a stranger 

Many times, talking to oneself

It was a long journey

Of understanding 

My childhood

Other’s childhood

It was a long journey

Of taking calculated risk

In life

At work

It was a long journey

Of foolish choices

For love

And life

It was a long journey 

Of writing 

Poems and stories

Journals and confessions 

It was a long journey 

Of knowing

That relationships is all I have 

Including the one with myself
