Most often, we don’t get what we search. We end up with what we deserve…

Miles to Go – The Search

© 2009 Dr.P.Elayaraja

In search of pearl

We dive so deep,

Oysters alone

At times we reap,

 

It is all in the game,

Our deeds will speak,

Miles to go … before we sleep.

    Irrespective of the outcome of the result, we have to carry on, because we are duty bound; what to do?

    Perhaps we don’t always strive to do our best. Reaching high keeps us on our toes.
