Poem: The Comeback Trail

Kamlesh Tripathi

*

I’ve walked across cities
that didn’t remember my name.
I stood beneath the skies
that looked the same.

*

I’ve loved the light,
I’ve cursed the rain.
I’ve welcomed joy,
I’ve carried pain.

*

I’ve met the kind,
I’ve met the cruel.
Life teaches softly,
Then breaks its own rule.

*

Some mornings bloom
like fields in spring.
Some nights arrive
without a thing.

*

Life has its swagger,
Even in disguise.
It stumbles, it dances,
It falls, it flies.

*

The roads keep bending,
The seasons depart.
Time redraws maps
Inside the heart.

*

What glittered like gold
turned into dust.
What shattered my faith
Rebuilt my trust.

*

I’ve watched endings
wear victory’s face.
I’ve seen silence
outlast the race.

*

Yet through every chapter,
One truth stays unsaid.
Not every story
Is ever truly dead.

*

Because somewhere beyond
the ache and the fall,
a soul finds its footing,
and answers the call.

*

The rarest miracle
Isn’t fortune or fame.
It’s watching hope return…

And hearing life whisper,
“Welcome back to the game.”
