Living

Break all the shackles of attachments
wash away the guilt,regrets from the heart
dust  the unpleasant memories in the head
melt the fear of unknown,
loosen up the  tangled hair ,
with the enlightened soul
smile on the lips,confidence in the eyes
with free spirit and freedom,
live the life to the core.
take the risk for once to live
as you wish ,as its too short 
to let go and too long to 
bore and burden it.
thousand voices say you are wrong
but when you know you are true
then take the dive/plunge.
it costs but nothing is free.
if afraid of light ,one will always be
in the dark tunnel.
there is no perfect time,age,place,person  etc to be content 
where your heart is,bliss is there.
Its tough ,gruelsome to risk the easy
but is it  better than life full of regrets ?
it may take time for passion/dream to turn into reality
but which doest take time and pain?
one cant run unless he sets his foot on the ground.
to fly ,all it takes is to spread wings and fly agianst the wind.
The price you get is-you will fall in love
with a wonderful person and that is you.
