We Fall To Rise Again

I walked along the sea shore
Unsatisfied, craving for more,
Over my face, the tears rolled,
Burdened with fears, cried my soul.

Pondering over unfulfilled greed,
Regretting for every unsown seed,
I could never stand for myself,
Always too afraid, i confess!

In my life could never win,
As i believed in giving in
Could never put forward my set of proposals
Being too afraid of refusal
Never touched the height of perfection
Being too afraid of “Failure’s” intervention..

Suddenly..
Interrupting my monologue, roared the silent sea
In which i could see,
My FEARS craving for apologies.
Waves seemed too roll down now and then,
May be just to rise again!

Deep thoughts made me realize,
Giving one try worth the price.

As we do not know the depth of risks 
Until we dive and drown,
We do not know the height above,
Until we fall on the ground!

We cannot gain until we lose,
To know the value of acceptance,
One has to be refused!

We cannot know the joy of winning,
until we keep it at stake,
We cannot ever reach perfection,
Until we learn from the mistakes we make.

So what if we fall today,
Its just to rise another day!

Even a small ant falls a million times,
Until the wall could be climbed.
A small baby continues to fall,
Until one day he can finally crawl.
With the pain of falling, every bird cries,
Until one day, it learns to fly.

Just like all of them,
WE FALL NOW AND THEN
But
WE FALL TO RISE AGAIN!!!
