Bereft!

The journey has been so long

On the weary roads of life

Gaining the things, to you they belong

Not all, as some are lost in a strife 

Countless miles you have covered

With an infinite miles more to go

You are drenched by drops showered

Falling one by one with a pace so slow

You have tried hard to contemplate

You have tried hard to surmise

More hardly it accumulates

Lastly what you have is suffice

You keep on climbing till roof

Not knowing what you will get

Whether it is near by or aloof

With closed eyes, you place the bet

The dark clouds filled with water

At peak all is achieved, nothing is left

Soaking you to the soul like a blotter

Telling you that like the drops, you are not bereft!
