The Endangered Dream

Roaming about in the valley of love I saw an enchanting dream To hold on to the treasure trough Of purity of soul and self esteem Cross swords with the demons of lust That swallow the serenity of souls Neither my soul to greed entrust Love and compassion to be my goals Virtues that flower in the thought’s garden Dazzle the eyes with the rainbow of colors A comforting word is a paradise bliss laden To banish anguish provide succors My lofty resolve was to be steadfast and just Undaunted in sunshine and rain Smilingly in all adversities and failures adjust The luck awards me a shackle or puts me in chain The devil stood on my way wearing an ugly face With designs to undo my dream With an aim to see me end up in disgrace With electrifying speed he raised his team Would my dreams survive the onslaught of devil Should I walk out and quit the race Would my unsheathed sword of tenacity subdue the evil Alone I may not this goliath successfully face But what if you lend me your hand Together we can win with grace And Devil’s designs to quarantine send Vanquished we can destroy the evil’s trace
