Chords of Destiny Premiere Contest Winner

Life is battlefield,
we should either take flight or fight,
go left or right.
The daring chase towards them,
the cowards race away from them.
But,I am not the one at the base as I keep them at my pace.

As there are mysteries in math
so they are in my path,
forcing me to take an oath 
of listening to my mind 
and to be blind to my heart.

There are people to discourage me,
forcing me to fake my smile
and trying to make me soak in the 
lake of cowardliness.

But I have decided ,
to be kind to my heart than to my mind 
to find my way through the obstacles
which will bind me with my dreams.

Though these are mere words
like birds at dusk,
but once into my trust
action will speak louder than words,
against all odds,
which will form the chords of my destiny.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Congratulations on your win. Against all odds is good and a winding path is more interesting than obscure 'normality'. Many wishes, Kai
