THE UNIDENTIFIABLE

By mistake or not,I am confused of

The lone guest comes here with task assigned

Methinks what the purpose would be

'Bout steps,talks to him to get whereabouts

Says the absconder doesn't know about himself

The early arrivers say when enquired

Though they undertake along the same path

Since many years , decades and centuries

All of them to each other are strangers

Strangers,still strangers even to themselves.

Asks about the long trek adventurous

How to succeed,how to overcome the hindrance

Tells that it's upto the drive of time

When commanded by the drive of impulse

'Bout destination they say with a sigh

It is unplanned since the start upto the end

The souls are all naked,have no identity

Deficient of enlightenment, paralyzed mind

Only if each of them all know their selves

There will be no stranger within self and around.
