THE FORT........


There are no doors ,
the wind blows in
taking away my soul ,
as a reward for my sin.........


My eyes see darkness ,
for there is no light........
I have no faith that
they'd return my sight........


Feeling my way through.....
I realised its not simple,
To make way alone........
to my star that twinkles.....


So I lay still on the way,
Waiting for someone to give me support,
But even as years passed.....
I found noone who could build my fort......


The moat around me ......
prevented ant entry
Stopped any stranger from coming in,
But later i felt it was not right,
to not let even a helper
come and help me win......


So then I waited for more years,
So i could find someone I could trust,
But they did not stop for me.....
for they thought I was bad within & on the crust.....


This went on for a long time,
But I did not want to justify truth,
For I had made a mistake then,
For which I now reap my fruit......


Then.... only a few years ago,
Swept by me a pleasant miracle,
Someone who had passed by me long ago,
Returned & though I could reach a pinnacle......


Not knowing me ..... but with blind faith,
Gave me courage & support I needed most,
to accomplish what was destined for me,
across the violent seas to the coast.....


So with great impetus,
I geared my way through,
Its amazing what support can do......
with someone always at the back of you......


There was always a new challenge,
for nothing could satisfy me.....
But I anon learnt with experience......
success lies in how you see.


But even as I passed many men,
none seemed to have made the error I made,
Is that why they reched their goals......
so early & me so late?..................
