The Magical Compass

Far away in the lands of emptyness,
where the roads were like mazes,
i had been caught,
i waited and waited to my land to be brought.
When my patience got drained,
and no one to my rescue came,
i took out my magical compass,
which was then the only thing i could trust.
And i said,
" o! compass with heavenly powers,
guided by the one who lives above the tallest towers,
from these roads which every metre bends,
show me the place of my very best friend."
And a sound came,
"Follow the needle as it moves,
sometimes through desert sometime through blues,
just think about your friend as you go,
else the needle would not show".
And the needle started rotating,
with which my fear began evaporating,
its my this friend about whom i always think,
so it was not difficult to fulfill that thing.
Crossing through mountains,
and the everlasting deserts,
i felt happy going through difficulties those,
because my friend was getting close.
Finally after many years i saw civilization,
but my heart still didnt feel the happy sensation,
it still felt lonely and tensed,
without the presence of my very best friend.
Now when my journey was going to end,
i could not wait to see my friend,
but now i noticed that all these years i had aged,
and this journey had made me frail.
now it seemed my end was near,
but i had no fear,
for now i just wanted to die near mate,
so i hurried without any wait.
Suddenly the needle stopped rotating,
and started fluctuating,
which meant my friend was close,
and this joy made me jump on my toes.
I looked around in the crowd,
and called her name as loud as i could shout,
you turned around and saw me,
that magical smile of yours i could see,
i ran towards you with all my vigour,
and then the death pulled its trigger,
i fell down with my knees bent,
and my eyes looked at you as my life went.
But my wish of seeing you was granted,
so no complain to god i chanted,
just one thing that did not turn my way,
there was something deep in my heart that i could not say.
