Carry On

When faced with mountains,

And valleys that run deep.

When the way ahead

Is apparently too steep.

Carry on….

 

When the road in front is winding

And it is not worth the trouble.

Each step that you take is tiring

And looks like there is not end to it.

Carry on….

 

What lies ahead, nobody knows,

Smooth path, sharp curves, steep climbs?

These are the paths o'er which life flows,

Do not stop but stay in the grind.

And, carry on….

The Course

(-Myself)


I don’t want to fall to pieces,

This is not the way I'd planned it to be.

All my dreams, mere delusions?

And on the surface, for everyone to see?

 

Not quite the way round,

When I thought I'd hit something - nothing was found.

Striving to be different, I have lost my way,

I wait for the wheel of fortune to turn around.

 

It is not my quality, that is me,

My choices decide what I become.

To take a different road, was what I did,

But this is different, and by a large sum!

 

To fear not, is what I plan to do,

Dear God, I put my trust in you.

You can rise above mountains,

I am sure that I will too!

Last but Not the Least


Killing time? But stop

Stop killing,

stop time.

Can you stop time?

The moments fly too fast for that

But you can

 

Try.

Impede the perpetual flow

that takes you down the ages.

Take the path

less used

and you do not know

where you are headed.

 

Uncertainty,

The less you know

darker it gets.

You draw up a chimera

hope for it to come true.

But will it?

Uncertainty

you hope that it will.

 

Maybe dreams are meant

to be that way,

mere glimpses into

another world

uncertain, uninhabited.

Or you hope

you hope

you try and believe in

dreams turning true;

maybe they do

 

You keep glancing sideways

looking for encouraging signs

that do not exist.

Never stopping

to find any escape route

never finding

continue moving

forward always hoping.

 

Though things look bleak

you march on

and on

and further yet,

till you last

last but not the least.

It is true.
