Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Free verse

Tell It Like It Is

The quick sands of fate cave in
The sucking darkness captures
The weed of agony marsh slithers 
Entangled hope of escape smothered 
Hazard paves the pathway of life
For the destiny to wander unseen.

Uncalculated footsteps waver
The poise vacillates uncontrolled
The trap of time in the mire waits
For the weary traveller to arrive 
Walking in the shadow of destiny
On the unknown pathway of life.	

The survival contest then begins
In the arena of the trying times 
Struggling hard to reach salvation
Tread on the pathway of life
Until the call comes to join
The ordained farewell party.

Destiny is not an excuse
The walk is one’s own walk
The pathway lighted or dark
The lamp maker within decides
Amble on garden path or marshy trail
The inner voice dictates.

The light of consciousness guides the being
In the journey of realization
To the blissful destination of divine sanctity
At the end of the pathway of life.

We are the makers of our own destiny and it is the lamp holder who sees that the path is lighted or left darkened . Congratulations dear friend on your win.
