Last But One Day

It is the penultimate day, before this journey ends
There have been so many twists and countless bends
That one wonders how one managed to retain sanity
In the craze of the worldly charms that knows no equanimity

I look back at the start and realize that I had no say,
In so many matters that I thought I had the final say
There are so many life actions that molded like clay
But the actions when executed were not child’s play

Alongside the journey, there were many interactions,
Interesting people sharing their own perception
There were so many conflicts from inception to completion
That the road less traveled seemed an eternal congestion

There were times when one had to juggle multiple acts
There were times when one felt that there is a compromise on a pact
There were times when one felt the necessity to let go of tact
But one realized that not everyone have values sacrosanct

There are times when one realized the need to educate
There were times when one felt the need to no longer oscillate
There were times when one felt the need to eradicate set pattern
But one realized that not everyone prefers to light the lantern

Tomorrow would be another day signifying the end of a cycle,
A start of a new life, with potential unknown and untested
It takes courage to let go of the past to capture the territories vast
In the ultimate aim of having your flag flying at full mast!
