by Arun N. Nair, India Feb 10, 2004
Peace & Conflict   Poetry

  

In my days of repress, I was a prisoner to my distress,
A solution I sought, a respite, hoping a miracle,
The obstacles were unbearable, inevitably loomed a debacle,
Sinking in the sand, I stretched out my hand, crying for a redress.

Then my conscience spoke, a voice I seldom heard,
“The solution lies in fighting the dilemma, undoing what you’ve become.
If the hurdle is high, soar above and overcome.
Your thoughts are the sheep, become the Shepherd.

Sow the seeds of perseverance and let patience be your virtue,
Uproot the weeds of vice, drive away the demons of procrastination.
Stay rooted in the face of adversity, you need determination.
Wither not come what may, your goals you must pursue”.

And so it was, I was no longer forlorn,
Unfamished from circumstances, unfettered from responsibilities.
The answer lies within, the truth, the sensibilities,
Time to move on with the realization adorn.

- Arun Nair (08/02/2004)
