splash my countenance
and I am awakened
out of my ignorant stupor.
Scores of queries
buried deep
in the squalor of a laid back existence
begin to torture my very soul.
"What is writ in my destiny?"
"Why can't I see beyond the fog of life?"
Some incomplete goal
lies awaiting my knock
on its beckoning door
and I am helpless
oblivious of that window
to hope and fulfillment.
Cobwebs of ignorance,
dust of arrogance
lie untouched
wrenching my sudden thoughts
of reflection and realization.
Oh God! I beseech You
To show me the Way!
Shail,welcome to one shot!Am new there too so I love to know other newcomers,too.
ReplyDeleteThey say our destinies are already written.But deep inside I would like to believe we have a hold on our destinies.
Had a good read.Looking forward to seeing you more at one shot!
Hi June, so good to see you here! Yes, I do believe that God helps those who help themselves. There is no point in believing in destiny helplessly. But this said, I also believe in the law of karma.
ReplyDeleteYes, I hope to be around here regularly. I just have to remember that I have to post a poem every Tuesday or Wednesday at One Shot.
Right?
