An Unknown Road

By Ankita Parkhad
Nobody knows where I go
I don't know either
I only know I'm headed somewhere
The word "somewhere" shapes the road ahead

The more I walk, the more I create my path
The more I create, the more clarity I gain
The more clarity I have, the more calm I feel inside
I experience inner peace

Then, I need no outer confirmation
No outer guidance
No outer suggestions
Only the road unfolding with me
Creates the universe for me
