No Particular Reason (poem: Abdul Punnayurkulam)
Published on 24 October, 2019
On a starry, vivid night…
for no particular reason,
I thought I could cross the
channel in a narrow canoe
For a short while, the channel
was calm and ride smooth.
Suddenly, a shadow overcast the moonlight,
and the whirlwind was whistling!
When I looked ahead,
the destination seemed endless.
Then I looked back,
the shore was far away!
I felt the small ferry
was wider than the Pacific Ocean!
An unknow fear crept into my mind,
and haunted me – was this journey necessary?
for no particular reason,
I thought I could cross the
channel in a narrow canoe
For a short while, the channel
was calm and ride smooth.
Suddenly, a shadow overcast the moonlight,
and the whirlwind was whistling!
When I looked ahead,
the destination seemed endless.
Then I looked back,
the shore was far away!
I felt the small ferry
was wider than the Pacific Ocean!
An unknow fear crept into my mind,
and haunted me – was this journey necessary?

Yes! From the time of birth; we are in the middle of nowhere!
While we wonder why we are born, our ferry of Life has drifted far from the Shore, In fact, we don’t even know where the shore is and from which direction we came.
Each & every direction we look, it is endless, do we have a choice!
Our tiny ferry boat of life is poised on the top of waves, which way we go, do we have a choice, we go the way the waves drop us, to the endless far beyond, yes to the endless farbeyond. -andrew
