Of Pursuits New

Mar 10
NabanitaDhar

To alter the wrong,
Courage I need.
Bequeath the known,
Strive and seek.


Two steps forward,
I wish to go.
But obscurity ahead,
A friend or foe?


I fear one day,
Too late it’ll be,
If not today I
Set my soul free.


To wait to begin,
To be inspired,
Renders odds thin,
To acquire which desired.

  2. "obscurity ahead, A friend or foe?" … this reminds me of a poem which my mummy introduced me to when i was in my teens.. it goes like this … माँ सा हृदय वीर सी दृढ़ता
    मलय पवन से मधुता
    यह सब, अन्य और जो
    जन के स्वप्न बने हों
    तुम्हे आज वेह सहज प्राप्त हो
    हर्षित हृदय से है यह कामना

  3. Don't worry, have courage and fly high, my friend. With a loving family and lovely friends, the only way for you is high and higher!

  11. This is so apt: I fear one day, Too late it’ll be, If not today I Set my soul free. If only we have the guts to do the right thing at the right time no matter how it hurts!

  21. Thanks Danny 🙂 and yes it is a difficult decision indeed, I guess we need to work on it each day..

  23. Indeed Pankti building up the courage and working at it each day is so difficult! Thanks for dropping by 🙂

  35. Painful; though beautiful lines Nabanita and I can relate to it……
    And I agree with Arpita – "so much is left to the reader's interpretation" which is the best outcome you can relish after writing this poem 🙂
