Another Chapter in the Diary of Life

The journey had just begun
Daylight was the only companion
Treading across the serpentine road
Garlanding the mountain terrain
The weather made a sudden turn
Fog enveloped the environ
Cloaking everything in a mysterious cape
Hinting at imminent danger ahead
Visibility died an early death
Leaving a trail of obliviousness
Felt a chill run down the spine
As an owl hooted at a distant pine
The coldness grew with each passing step,
Could feel the icy grip of the breeze
Fossilizing   the senses,
Tried to speed up, but in vain
My tired feet stopped listening to my brain,
A swerving curve lay ahead
Limitless darkness stretched unabated
The silence was unbearable,
Eerie, formidable,
Skipped a beat, my heart,
When a pair of gleaming yellow eyes
Emerged from the misty cavern,
‘Twas the headlight of the missed bus!
Now sitting in the comfort of the Tavern,            
A little overwhelmed at  the recent events,
But , said the mind,
Somewhere down the line
Will recollect with a smile
And fill the pages of the diary of life
Enlisting this as another memorable experience!
