Bravery

In spite of the despot, I reached there
like an obstinate roaring lion
to  strike the crystal ball, in vain
they laughed at me, my passion.
In the glimpse of light, I murmured
to myself, not to fear, not to tremble
for, this is the sky of your life!

I love it that you were "like the obstinate roaring lion". "The sky of your life" - you are such a wordsmith. Beautifully said, my friend. I am impressed.
