Sitting in a new home, in a new city, with a new ambition, or I should say an extension of my life’s ambition, a poem dropped off my mind yesterday. It is amazing how story of life unfolds. And, what I find more amazing is that life is a story, which we can read and write at the same time. Paradoxical but true. So, today I thought to share this poem with you.

A home to go back to,

And, a world to explore,

Are the dreams of a ship,

And, it needs nothing more.

Let the tide come waving,

Let the water rise,

Set the sails free,

Let’s leave the shore.

Let the land fade away,

Let the storms begin,

Set the peace within,

Let’s touch the core.

Let the unknown be known,

Let the known be gone,

Set the course of courage,

Let’s open a new door.

A door behind which lives the ocean,

Dreaming of a ship and nothing more,

Carrying a world in every wave,

Ready, for the brave to explore.
