Trying to catch up with you,
I ran breathlessly.
You were gone like a wind
All attempts in vain.
Despair descended on me.
A cold numbness; the vanity of it all.
It’s futile, I slowed my pace.
Took a deep breath and went on
For I can’t give up my quest –
The quest for meaning;
Something that makes sense.
Loneliness gave way to solitude.
A bright light far away.
I rushed; it slipped away.
I slowed; it came nearer.
But where are you ?
Have you reached your destination ?
Are you spinning on a rodent’s wheel ?
