Some life events are just not the strike of time but are monumental in designing the lifestyle. When I talk about lifestyle it is just not the way we live out life but how we can shape lifestyle of people around us and I believe that no matter how perfect you are, for your journey to the dreaded death is many a times defined by the ring around us. Few believe in what they get and few are determined to have what they want. Former succeeds every time but latter has to go through the most shrewd struggle in life but eventually latter gets, if not the picture perfect yet close to comfort system, a system they want. For the latter ones, all the life events are monumental, even the failures. Few lines to everyone of them surviving in this intense world:
I hear the crumbling of the earth beneath me,
I fear the high tides coming off the sea,
I see a boat sailing at the horizon,
I hope for the subtle rays of morning sun.
My heart says to wait for the night to pass,
The full moon is making even the sea gasp,
This light is darker than the night,
Hope is that boat, far off my sight.
I look around to see if anyone could succor,
I find a few but none to assist further,
The fear superimposed all the hopes in my mind,
Alone me is all I could find.
Midst of all, my lips kept mumbling the word, believe,
Hope was the only path my eyes could see,
Nothing lasts forever, I thought,
Horizon is my destination and then I fought.
Slowly I step my shaking feet on the ground,
Ready to take the leap of faith I found,
Tides are still trying to pull me there,
But I, with my closed eyes, hang on clinching the air.
My eyes are filled with crimson rays,
I look around while the boat sways,
Its the same water around me,
The demonic tides are now the assist to my journey.
Life is tale of difficulties and gladiators being carved out of these tales. Faith, patience, determination, will to walk the talk, and above all the power of unknowns are few of the thousand factors shaping up who we are and how we do in what we choose to do. But the choice is always ours. Events makes us anxious but they get monumental when we hold the anxiety and take control of our determination and will to drive us on the journey we all want to commence.
