A Tale of Enlightened Soul

LIFE: AN OCEAN OF SCOPE

I don’t know how to start, how to proceed and where to end!

Life seems simple but it’s a blend;

As a kid I was happy and clear,

As I grew my mind all filled with fear;

Expectations resulted in a bleeding ocean,

A ocean full of untold emotion;

Mid in the ocean I sat in a leaking boat,

With sweating head and dry throat;

But could never think of rowing to the shore;

It was certain that I would drown,

As I feared to face expectation’s frown;

Eventually ocean made my boat sink,

And I sat motionless with my soul’s stink;

I was in a deep thought;

A thought of my family’s reaction on loosing me,

And my loved one’s regret for choosing me;

By this time I was in the dark bed;

A bed with sand & mosses around,

And all beneath the water I was found;

A fish came to me like a fairy,

And asked me if the place was scary?;

I said it is peaceful to be here,

Away from the world it’s a complete sheer;

The angel fish gave me a kiss;

The holy creature said am being coward,

Beauty is to bear the responsibility and move forward;

We all came to this world like a empty slate,

Situations filled it all with fate;

It’s the essence of almighty’s making which we have to respect,

Without which there is no life’s aspect;

The divine words of fish gave me a ray of hope,

Suddenly the ocean of fate turned to a ocean of scope;

I took a leap and swam to the shore,

Expectations welcomed me and I had to score;

I was courageous and was bold in state,

Faced every challenge and teased the fate;

All the bad  nightmares blurred ,

And everyone cheered with respect and opportunities thawed;

Lets learn to cope,

As there is never a lost hope;

Remember! We all are enough powerful,

To make our life wonderful;

Life is full of adventure & mystery,

Keep on trying until you break the history;
