                 Painting by Caspar David Friedrich

Manuscript of a Musafir

Sands of time preserves
 the enduring footprints
of an ancient journey

Desert winds carry
fragments of a caravan
bidding adieu to the mirage of life

Etched upon the murky pages of night,
a dream unveils the shroud
revealing a perennial tale of a nomad

Horizon unchains wild waves
smashing hard upon the
mighty rocks of kinship
 
A wayfarer, a vagabond
walks alone upon the dusky paths
amidst the silhouettes of mayhem

A saga of romance burns bright;
infected by the madness;
intoxicated by the liquor of infatuation

Lured by potent sentiments
grimed with satire;
a melodrama seeps through
the scars of a quill

In the light of dawn the
dried stains of ink glitter
on the mossy walls of a graveyard

From the ashes of past
a fallen hero rises again

 Beneath the crypt of memories
a manuscript still breathes
 a story of an undaunted Musafir
