The Razors Edge

Any great undertaking is an uphill task That demands a great amount of work It is not cutout for hesitant individuals Only the courageous can take-up cudgels. Life is a journey from womb to the tomb That needs to be explored and recognized To understand it is apparently simple but In reality it is a relentless toil and effort. The inward expedition is even more baffling For it is a strange search wherein the seeker Seeks the sought which is truly astonishing Hence the exercise is rightly awe-inspiring. Among the millions, few have the nerve To attempt this strangely inward flight Not yielding to the wayside temptations Demands penance of countless births. It is hence not meant for the feeble weaklings For the journey is arduous with full of palings Only the valiant with single-minded firmness Justify the criterion to walk on a razors edge.

Very well done! And only those with Single-minded firmness have the balance to stay erect, and not be too far swayed by the physical nor the spirit. God, His reality, is both.
