the extra mile

from the ordinary
to the extraordinary
it’s a journey of miles
in search of many smiles

the many a type of travelers
with the many a type of trawlers
create a conundrum to ponder
in a journey that goes yonder

the road widens
the road deepens
it winds and meanders
it vanishes, it reappears

unperturbed, the traveler keeps walking
leaving miles behind, wondering
roads get over, the ghats appear
easy gets over, tough breaks slumber

evening drops n good ol sun’s sinking
fuel tanks run dry, engine’s not cranking
the mettle gets over, and spirits come out
hot metal in hand, most let go, few hold on

life time opportunity, you get once in a while
to walk that extra mile and make the customer smile
drop it, regret it, or hold it, earn it
make a choice, it’s yours, believe it!
