THE LOST FOOTPRINTS:

Where am I?
In the desert!

I get no reply
From the dunes of sand

All the ways
Till where my eyes can see

Are same
And as one

Have I crossed a long desert !
From where to where?

I see no footprints
Of people or of mine

This desert starts from
My cradle bed, I think

And to my death bed
It goes, I believe

And for ages
The deeds done are gone

It took me time to write
And the time erased it

Had there been a pair or two
Footprints of someone, somewhere

I would have got
The destination's clue

Have I crossed a long desert !
From where to where?

Nay!

From my inside
To my outside

I think
I am the desert.......
