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…
