Rumi Quote "Doubt is a precipice on the way to God. Blessed is he who is freed from its bonds."
__________________________________________
Walking toward the edge, facing a gray sky, Paradise magnificence is dazzling below. Goals are shrouded amid dense, rimy snow, Amid scarlet stones, serenading scary lullaby. Mountain summits catch nascent sunbeams, Time for either primal bitterness or delight. Flagrantly feeling fearful of a factious fright, Falls fully into the recess of sliced streams. Positioned on the edge of annihilation, I was looking into the distance of my mind. I am seated and pensive, on muse behind, Have I the resolve to move toward obligation? Yeah, the road ahead is all thorny and broken, So I'm trapped, admiring it from a distance. However, I am unable to reverse my insistence, for the route I've taken is empty and betoken. I've no action as to dwell in confine of truth, Observing dread and splendor of doubt. Skilled in leaving to safety despite flout, Wish to dive into the dimness, still in my youth.   Fear the ambiguous; it is nothing but dread, If not brave enough to tackle a rough path. As I felt anxious at this point, unfit to lath. Still, what path can I decide to sail ahead? Should I return to weird safety or leave? Is the charm of the enigma alluring to me? What can I do? not a clear path to foresee Yet, such ways will always be a lie to weave. But I must purport to persist on this precipice. Hinders the impending gravity of genesis.

Making a choice in life is often challenging ! We will be plagued by thoughts of uncertainty and fear ! You have powerfully delineated the vagaries of fortune and the perplexities of your mind. "Should I return to weird safety or leave? Is the charm of the enigma alluring to me? What can I do? not a clear path to foresee".When we stand confused at the precipice of life, unable to decide what to do, our wisdom will direct us through the right track. Glad you are willing to take up the challenge. Congratulations on your well deserved win !

poem eloquently paints a portrait of a soul navigating the precipice of ambiguity and self-reflection. The juxtaposition of the gray sky and the dazzling magnificence below symbolizes the complexity of life's choices. The scarlet stones and scary lullaby add a touch of mystery and apprehension to the journey.

--Positioned on the edge of annihilation, I was looking into the distance of my mind---Yeah, the road ahead is all thorny and broken---skillfully you painted the hue from the precipice, my friend. Much to gleam here reading your words of inspiration and wisdom when facing doubt and uncertainty.

a wonderfully penned poem that deeply depicts the precipice on which many poets and writers stand. It describes a metaphorical precipice where we all stand at some point in our lives pondering 'what shall I do.' The precipice precludes a life-defining moment or event. I especially liked the 4th verse: "the road ahead is all thorny and broken...I like your poem as much as I like Frost's "The Road Not Taken"--one of my favorite poets and poem. Yours resonated with me. best wishes with the contest

How deeply sincere and moving is this poem, often we all do ponder about that, things of future and path may seem more vague and obscure than other days somedays, and we go through all sort of questions like “ Should I return to weird safety or leave? Is the charm of the enigma alluring to me? What can I do? not a clear path to foresee “ all so very soul hitting and resonating!definitely is a fave for me: for the depth and for the way you’ve expressed in sugh eloquence, if for a contest, GL
