Strength to Bounce Back
Strength to Bounce Back
Battered by the blast of a cruel storm
Incited by wild woeful wobbling winds,
My heart, broken to pieces, was transformed
To a slice of flesh, pricked by an arrow,
Sealing a scary scar, deep and profound,
That in stillness of the night did resound.
Blown by the blast, the germ of love was lost
In the air, with pearly drops not dripping,
But hanging on edge of my eyes like frost,
My breast flared up with flashes of lightning
On reminiscence of the dismal plight
To which fate had hurled me one gloomy night.
My mind veiled with a cloud of deep darkness,
All along my path, dark shades did collide
With thoughts dulled by large strata of bleakness
And my shattered spirit on the downside
With life seeming shrouded in a white mist,
A drama of suffering with a twist.
Though hot tears may hide on edge of the eyes
With every downturn resides an upturn:
If the inner strength, we seek to apply
If the lessons of life, we wish to learn
From ashes, every broken soul can rise
And greet dawn of a new day with surprise.
Soon deep from the depth of my inner self
The glow of a shining light did ignite,
Beckoning me to pluck strength from myself
Pursue the rightful path leading to light
Pull up muscle from every breath I heave
And in my inner assets to believe.
In due course I learnt my strength to muster,
Grasp the lessons to bounce back on my own,
Be bold and brave to bear roars of thunders,
Shines of my inner self not to disown
As no wounds can`t be healed if we do try,
And inner strength can lift us to the sky.
