Marry What You Love

Marry what you love
focus not on human spouse only
let that thing you so love
be spouse, non-human spouse

To survive in this competitive world
have enduring love for that thing
develop enduring attention
have enduring commitment
that thing that you believe
will earn you a name
and make you a unique being

Persist along the path all the way
you hear an owl hooting 
your left leg knocks a stone
in dreams you see tombs, skeletons
and snakes threaten to bite you
a tiger comes after you in vision
a black cat crosses your way right to left
go, go on till the end- persist
Homeland of success is fenced
thorns, snakes, tigers are guards
fight hard fight, break barriers
measure of success in not achievements
but the hurdles overcome
persist till death do you part
resounding victory it will be

You missed one thing. Provided that our efforts are done together with each other and continually and habitually. You will soon start to see, equal are both you and me. You are writing quite a few poems. Jim Horn
