The answer and the keys
Kaushik Ghosh 1979 (Calcutta)
Take me out of these blind lanes, by lanes and alleys -
I cannot keep going this way, anymore!
I can bear no longer the pain of not being able to be there - where I was meant to be.
Was I meant to be somewhere at all? Or is it that I was destined to wander aimlessly between these blind lanes?
I think my heart has the answer. But it has kept the answer treasured in one of its hidden closest, whose keys I've lost long back.
So am I now to lookout for the keys or for the answer?
As I keep moving between this dilemma, I find myself back to those lanes again.
