Listen to me my heart!

(This poem is from a man who lost his “Fighting spirit” in life and has somewhat or somehow developed into a “victim” of life rather than a “Victor” in life. He now is talking to his heart to change for better for he knows that it is his heart that is responsible for the current situation.

He realizes that his heart must become its old-self again for him to get back everything he has lost, and more! He knows that every great contender has been talked of about his/her heart—it’s virtue of courage, calmness, politeness, kindness, iron-will, steadfastness and the list is endless. He finally succeeds, like you would- after reading and meditating on this poem!)

A faint sound on the outside my home

Here I go jerking and jolting!

One bad day in my life

Here I am murmuring and muttering about the erratic life!

A small failure on my way to the destination

And there I am stunned and gloomy!!

One big confrontation with uncertainty and trial

There I plunge into desperation and deprivation!!

Why my heart, did God make you out of cotton—so soft?

No He must not have for sure!

Your destiny lies not in crying or moaning or groaning

But in being like a violent and vicious storm

that sweeps every single object on it’s way!!

Listen to me carefully oh my heart!

You are born of courage and determination

Never bring disgrace to your parents!!

Revive your past glory and

It’s time you were enthroned!

You were once appreciated and encouraged

for your daring, caring, bearing and raring!

It’s never too late or too difficult!

Just return to your old ways of dealing with life!!

Face it, stare it down and win it hands down!!!

Heave your rapier at the hydra with the same

fortitude that you once possessed from birth!!

The world may call you by any name

but never lose your true identity and fall back!!

You are to rule and not to be ruled

by trivialities and insignificants and petty things!!

Come out of your den and it’s the right time for hunting!!!

 Wish you all the riches to come with God’s blessings
