Standing at the edge of the ocean wide
As my eyes soaked in the vastness of the sea
Without a warning something stirred inside
My heart ached, I found my eyes misty
Blindfolded by ambition and ruthless desire
I had come far in my circuitous journey
My mind had managed to contain the fire
burning within, wrapped in the thrills of discovery
Staring at my new world, of boundaries devoid
My mind traveled back in time to that singular place
Of narrow alleys and chatter that could fill the void
Within my heart, bring to my soul some solace..
Many roads I have traveled, many paths traversed
Through many an enchanted land I have been
Though I go on absorbing experiences diverse
To those crowded alleys I shall always lean
