A Battle Called Life
Saloni P Feb 2012
Life is a perpetually unsolved mystery
yet travellers wandering on this infinite earth
always perceive themselves to be a step ahead
while watching out for the obstacles lying ahead.
Yet moments are encountered when they are knocked off their horses
and are immersed in absolute darkness
and even the light in their soul goes out;
they have nothing but the soft ground for solace.
Often in these moments they go back to paths already trodden seeking clarity
or they seek new paths like mongrels chasing the fresh scent of blood
only to be further immersed in the cacophony of life.

Don't give up yet young soldier,
Fight ! Fight on ! As heavy as thy encumbered soul is
thou must encounter the snares of life
and a corpse or two in the still darkness
Thou must always look for the brightness in the horizon
so the rays of sun can lift the shroud of darkness
to guide you to the golden path that you seek
because it is only when you push your limits
you truly discover who you are
and what you are capable of achieving.

— The End —
