House And Path
Why do house and path
exist together?
a question arises in my mind.
May there be a path
but no house
May there be a house, but
no path,
but, why do house and path
exist together?
a question arises in my mind.
House is a place to stay;
path is a way to go,
a way to go out leaving the house.
Perhaps, there exists no house to live without leaving it
Perhaps, this is the only truth.
Where there is a house
there exists a path,
I never saw anywhere, a house without path.
When path gets broken from house
life gets broken as well.
Now, I have realized that
life is nothing but a house linked to a path.
Translated from Nepali by Suman Pokhrel
