The Long Shot

December 21, 2020 by Trupti Satardekar

 

long shot

Trying to cross an old burnt bridge.
The wood is burnt, the ropes tethered with fire.
I’m running over the shaking bridge, as fast as I can
Leaving behind the baggage, being as light as I can.
I know nothing, of what lies on the other end,
But I take the plunge.

I’m jumping off the cliff
going as far as the rope of hope takes me.
I’m searching what I dropped
in the darkness of the valley below.
I know nothing, of the length of the rope,
if what I dropped is alive or dead.
But I take the plunge.

I’m searching the dark room
full of dust, cobwebs, paper boxes.
With the candle light in my hand,
I look for chapters I tore off,
I look for answers to questions I never asked before.
I know nothing, of how long the candle light will last,
if the room I look for is the right one.
But I take the plunge.

I’m holding the bow firmly,
I pull the last arrow from my pack.
The aim is distant, changing sails,
the fog makes my vision blurry.
I’m aiming for the bull’s eye,
that’s haunting and teasing me.
I know nothing, of the strength in my arms,
the precision of my archery.
But I take the plunge.

For heavens! I take the long shot.
Speeding is the arrow now,
Beating loud is my heart.
Earnestly waiting the sound,
When it will hit the bull’s eye,
My long shot.
