Through the Pane

thetravelerszone.com
 Alone amid unknown travelers,
I boarded an express train.
Seated nearby me were strangers,
With whom I didn’t share a single word.

I just gazed and gazed,
Not at their face but through the windowpane.
Enjoying the serenity of vales and woods,
And of course the happenings outside.

Through the pane, I could see,
The queue of vehicles waiting the passing train,
Though delayed, happy they were, as they knew
Patience is the companion of wisdom

Through the pane I could see,
A man fishing in a stagnant pond.
Fishes escape yet he tries, as he knew
His duty, duty to serve his family.

Through the pane I could see,
Children playing by the roadside,
Worrying not about the accidents,
‘cos of their ignorance, for ignorance is bliss.

Through the pane I could see,
The rickshaw paddlers, striving so hard,
With sweats, and perspiration,
For they knew hard word is key to success.

And within the train came a beggar,
With both legs lame, and eyes blind,
Yet he challenges to live his life,
Since he knew that life is precious.
