Either Victory Or Wisdom

Keeping poise in fortune,
Set my heart on entering the fray;
Making courage, control and persistence 
My weapon to conquer the affray.

Never will I shrink from obstacles,
Even when they seem like profanity;
The divine light of aspiration endures,
Even the darkest kindle into luminosity.

When thorns filled my path,
Or the vast sea spread its gown,
Even the sun's relentless blaze
Seemed as if heaven had come down.

With The Himalayas as my guide,
I vowed never to retreat;
Making valor, might and endeavour 
My weapon to conquer the freight.
