ACCEPTANCE

Sad sagas are made of broken hearts

and failed love stories

and unsuccessful career attempts

When you go bankrupt,

Emotionally and financially

When you shatter in pieces

Feeling like you can never gather yourself again

When every thing makes you bitter

and cynical, reminding of failure every time

When you know that you have to start at the bottom

Laboriously, going up till you reach the very top

But very few have the vision and clear sight..

Or should I say the courage and the strength

To do what needs to be done

To break away from the poison ivy

And stop the leeches

And do what needs to be done

I write of such brave things

And feel like reading a brave new world

Where light dispels darkness, every time

But the light needs to be conquered first

It is a dangerous path, with failures which need to be faced

And to live with them..and accept and be

I wonder if I have both? Courage and strength?

Can I look inside me and accept the leeches

And pull them out to accept the raw pain

And live with it till the wounds heal

Such morbid stuff I write

I need more of summer moonshine

And P.G Wodehouses and Faraway trees

My personal art of living class :)
