Reaching for the stars
Hands ache, toes sore
Eyes burn with unshed tears
of disappointments galore
Consequences of decisions
made in imprudent haste
Tormenting the helpless mind
Reflecting years led in waste
All this reckless race
Seemingly towards prosperity
To satisfy needs or is it wants?
Who stopped to think of the disparity?
Cannot remember the roads tread
Wonder what mysteries detours held
What was left behind? What lies ahead?
At this crossroad, the whole being tired
Somewhere in between lies forgotten
The worth of self, teachings of life
wealth of experiences, of strife
The race goes on, it has to be run
With a perspective to reach the sun
while in the raging river,
ReplyDeletedon't fight it,
give in to its anger,
channel its power,
to lead you to the shore of your desire,
for, introspecting in the battlefield can only lead to death,
that's better done in camp under the rays of the setting sun.
I mean, I can understand where this dilemma comes from, but in so far as you are in what you're doing now, try and enjoy it, at least for your own peace of mind.
