Thanks to Carpe Diem , I listened to some really soulful music. The musician Karunesh ‘s short bio was another surprise to me. Here is a list to a playlist of his songs – Music : Karunesh
And now , a haiku for this new music
A journey begins,
Closed eyes, open hearts,
into light I walk
Image source
the roads pause
even if you do not;
round and round
the landmarks appear;
each experience lead to
same old thoughts;
midway or not –
its the point in life
we never realize
before it has passed
and we find a stranger
suddenly residing
within our heart and mind –
a new you,
prepared for
the new journey ahead…

Prompted @ Carry on Tuesday
Originally inspired by Musical Poetry Prompt : Gordon Lightfoot’s Don Quixote
This is a duel poetry by me and ScribblingGal [ her lines in italics].

One dream at a time,
I walk holding hope’s hands
faith in myself a little more today
I seek yet again strange lands
Lands of the unknown
Where I seek the divine
Gushing out pure love
I faked smile of belief.
A smile – real or fake
is all one needs sometime
to melt a road block
on the path to a better being
Being which I lost
In the path of thorns
Hard rocks I still stumble
Wavering feets falter
And I wait for a glimpse
A glimpse of the promised future
a blurred image of a dream
let go once, held close today
a gift or a curse,who can say
Cursed I have always been
When I didn’t believe
I knitted the scattered pieces
For I was walking again
walking again, holding hope’s hands
walking straight into unknown lands
fake smiles do not cause you harm
head held high, i love the way I am
I again believed
I again Smiled
I again Loved
I lived well,again.
