#93 The Moment Of Joy

The moment of joy

My poem in spot poetry of Anweshan’s Poetry writing Competition , 2k15.

Duration: 1hr

Theme: 

Being surpassed by the fear

Of facing the battle

The heart pounded faster

Urging a need to move forward

Mind’s enormous motivation

Stirring the self from seclusion

How to move across the wind

Came a question from the stubborn instinct.

What the result would be?

How would the consequences look like?

Numerous haphazard random queries

Turned the possibility- a reverie.

Is the game all about

Victory and loss?

When the things get reversed

With just a single toss.

Pacified all my thoughts

To step out of inner dearth

Froze entire scene in front

The battle field- turbulent.

When came the moment of show

Then I realized it was

Something lot broader than

What I had ever thought of.

I stood firm all through

Like a pillar- not so tall

As I knew that

United we stand, divided we fall.

At last the trial got over

Leaving moments to be preserved forever

I felt the victory was in struggle

The moment of joy- I would call.
