embrace valour

treading inwards indicates an 
       embrace of valour 
                  knowing one is held ——
a journey strewn with jagged edges 
                             unknown detours 

once on a straight narrow path 
turnarounds disappear
            jungles untamed appear
lame sometimes becomes our resolve
       though forging beyond crags or rags
one cannot sag or lag _____

perseverance becomes no severance
    seventh heaven with salvation usurps
                                      starvation    
luminosity at end of slog holds steady
                              
in solitude we need make no haste               
knowingness, as Heart’s compass                 
                              keep us safe
hazards or hurdles cannot curdle
                             an inward journey ~

      Spirit of destined fate never late
turns burnished key into Home to be
       
              w i t h i n  is  
                                    M A J E S T Y

Goshhhh I LOVE Thisssss, dear Ghairo. This is such a profound, spiritually introspective and philosophically wise poem... So enriched with poetic details and took me on a journey inward, indeed..! You're absolutely right, there are no hurdles when the path leads us within ourselves, because the heart's compass is always a guide on the way.. nothing shall be lost but something truly precious must be found.. i really love how you've written "seventh heaven with salvation usurps starvation " wow everything about this is just so creative and soulful.. definitely going in my favourites.. thank you for sharing your beautiful words with us.. pleasure reading this.. sending you light and best wishes always, huggssszzzz
