Bends
The unexpected bend
The sudden sharp turn
Signals none
And crashes the traveler bringing many a relationships to an end
The bending road
The road of life
The journey on this road
Delivering unbridled joy
And at times relentless strife
Having survived
My situation I assess
On the tips of these fingers I count the real ones
Amongst the hundreds of friends I possess
Few real priceless diamonds among the millions scattered around
Few like the great banyan tree
Which rises to give shade
And even from high up there it’s roots reach the ground
The unicorn
