I Opened My Eyes To a New Dawn

I opened my eyes to a new dawn One which instilled in me the need to be rational Pray, of what use is somersaulting over rogue waves When these shall only bring me to my own death? I opened my eyes to a new dawn And felt it, the fluid of inner strength, Invade the many veins of my heart Why, life remains as she is, A path laden with upright nails With their sharp sides facing us Expecting us to walk over her, While filtering among us, The most reckless and rash Having the solid breath that is required To be able to meet up with the expectations Of the Truth that she hides behind her veiled skies! I opened my eyes to a new dawn And chose to thank life for everything that I own Rather than fret over that which I yearn for Pray, after all, I am sure she must be filled with bitterness As she gets pricked by the arrows of unsatisfaction That the whole of humankind throws at her! I opened my eyes to a new dawn, Swallowed the lump of pain that was stuck in my throat And chose to conquer life, as she is!
