I See Light

 

 I see light because it never ceases to exist

 

During the dark times when I was rebuked indirectly but often

When ‘confusion' mingled over like a bee, giving me a heavy head

When to find a direction, I was compelled to make one

'Success' was only a dream, far from reality within scope

But something that kept me going, was this "Light of 'Hope'

 

Being risk averse, my journey was dull,

I questioned my capabilities, observing friends enjoying their ride

Why not face this world more boldly, with a little more stride

But realized that answers need not always be given in outrage

Even politeness can do wonders was demonstrated "Light of Courage"

 

Planning and investments are just not for me,

Mantra of "going by the flow" has decided my pathways,

But uncertainty - call of this hour, makes me rethink always,

Doubting by self, my life decisions, when I sit in grief,

Suddenly, a feeling, "It's all good" comes from the "Light of Belief"

 

Wright and Wrong - a definition difficult to grasp,

Judging myself again and again, as I cannot take a stand

Why isn’t it engraved - bold and clear for people to understand

Most of the time spend to judge the decision rather execution

It was value rooted within making the wrong right, it was "Light of Wisdom"

 

Taking journey of this so-called world of darkness as a tourist,

I have realized one thing, keep looking for that iota of light

Because it never ceases to exist.
