Life unbound!

by Pranab Ghosh / March 3rd, 2019

The turn that the
road took
caught you unawares

It was not there…
you thought

It was never there
you were sure

You have driven down
the road since
time immemorial…

You have always
driven down the
road smoothly and safe

Suddenly the bend appears…
Now…
You put on the brakes!

The road
The life
The destiny

Disappear…

And you look ahead
at the empty
nothingness
The void…
