Courage

Hi all,

I believe life can be compared to one big Bungy-Jumping exercise... with the initial fear hitting hard on your body, you have to be ready to let go and enjoy the entire experience to succeed and spread around the brilliance of the radiance within you! Read on....


Ø ‘Courage’ is that unfettered and undoubting emotion,
That rises from the depth of one’s being with a rising motion,
That brings to light the greatest trait in an individual –
That of selflessness and bravery existing in a state, that is dual.


Ø ‘Courage’, displayed in appropriate behaviours outwardly,
Actually is a depiction of clarity on values, inwardly,
Such that even in the face of the uneventful storms,
The courageous man will find his feet to seek solutions under all norms.


Ø ‘Courage’ represents the establishment of a calm mind,
Amidst a pandemonium that may gradually unwind.
The reason why the mind attains composure,
Is because, man relies on his inner strength to straighten things out for sure.


Ø ‘Courage’ displayed during certain instances, may prove to be fatal,
As man has to pay the price for proving his inner metal.
Each country, thus, has its own set of National Heroes, who withstand sorrow,
Sacrificing their lives, in order to achieve a higher goal for tomorrow.


Ø ‘Courage’ can be developed by strengthening the mind and heart,
To accept realities and build on possible solutions, right from the start.
The acceptance builds a hope for the emergence of a better future,
That people with no courage, often, fail to nurture.


Ø Thus, the moral of this poem, my dear friend,
Is to cultivate a soul that spreads a courageous fever, that mends,
The darkness that envelopes us and makes way for light,
Lighting hopeful lamps in peoples’ hearts, whilst setting things alright.
