Ghumakkad

-
(Ghumakkad in Hindi means Nomad)

The nomad wanders on,
From oasis to oasis,
Desert to desert.
From winter to winter,
Spring to spring.

An act of benevolence here,
A trace of love there,
A beguiling joy somewhere...
All lost in the dreariness of travel,
In his fascination for the unknown.

A tear as he moves on,
In his eyes, in her eyes, in their eyes...

Would he did find a home in his travels,
Or the road his true love, his open home, forever and ever...
