Choices
Theme: This poem is about the choices we make
in life. There are certain choices or decisions which make or break our lives.
Many times we are unaware about the consequences of our choices but at the end
everything becomes clear. The time’s strong blow dispels all mist which keeps
on blurring our vision for long. Of course, it’s a long term process and
demands wisdom to look beyond the situations.
Strangely, at the end, the challenging journey leading to success seems
more pleasant the success itself.
The
route taken from
The myriads of
intertwined
The choices in front
of my eyes
Urging me to think
twice.
The path to be
discovered
Leading to results
unknown
But to walk is my
pledge
No matter- over the
ground or terrain
What losses or
sacrifices
When time is the
ultimate ruler
Rising up after every
fall
Is the demand of this
battle.
The transient state
of instability
Unsettled mind in
search of clarity
When the present-
between win or loss
It’s a stage to
finally cross.
After every transient
Comes a phase of
steady state
It can be only
achieved
By bringing together
east and west.
The success from the
close view
Is not the same from
distant
The journey is
sometimes pleasant
Than the stable end.
