Running For...

Konfessioner’s Word

It's a bird, it's a plane... no!! it's Anahita Dordi... She's a BE in IT and is studying to be a commercial pilot. I've never spoken to 'Ana' but know her so well courtesy NM and now Sarang. A gorgeous lady with a name that means "the immaculate one".

Anahita's poem this week is strong, and stirs the runner in each one of us. Proud to have you grace the wall Ana!

I am an IT engineer from Aurangabad currently in Pune, perusing studies to be a commercial pilot. Writing is my hobby, something I enjoy, something that relaxes me.

RUNNING FOR...

Running down the lane, I wonder if I can make it.
With the crush of the pebbles under my shoes, I wonder if I can reach there.
Would running help?
Can I run and leave my sorrows behind?
I get a quiet wishper saying NO.
But still I continue running....
Running for hope.
Running for joy.
Running for happiness.
Running for fulfillment.
Running for victory.
Running to forget the past.
Running to make a new start.
Running because;
now its impossible to stop.
As the perspiration trickles down my brow;
I learn, its not going to be easy.
I still RUN.........Later as I continue running I realise that all myquestions are being answered.
Answered by the pain my legs were bearing.
By the cold wind which kissed my face and answereda million questions at a time.
By the soft and tender green grass which I stepped on.
By the sun rays which hit me straight into my eyesand said," Its difficult to face me, but the one who does, never fails".
It taught me that you dont get things on a platter and that hardwork always pays.
Soon I realise that running is not goin to be waste.
I'll definitely get what I wanted.
I will reach there.....There where no one has ever tread.
There where all my whishes will be granted.
There where dreams are realised.
There where the letter ' I ' derives its signiificance and people know me not by my name, but by the way I have come.
