A Poem on Lost Dream
I am sure this feeling would have come to everyone once in their lifetime that they haven't got something they intended to, they had worked very hard for it, prayed for it, and tried and tested everything they could for that one thing they expected and dreamt of. This poem I wrote when I too had experienced the same and now how I feel it was for something better, better than what I thought. I hope you like it.
All my Day dreamings
And my success cravings
All my wishes and prayers
And the hardwork I could bare
All the divinely blessings
And my parents' investing
All my striving
And the continuous driving
All the meditations and rules
That to me were as fuels
All the motivational stories and songs
To keep my desires strong
All my luck testings
That I kept on experimenting
Had gone in vain
and caused me the deepest pain
The pain that won't vanish
And the inspiration it did banish
If not forever it will stay
But my crucial days would certainly decay
For the pain is very excruciating
To gather the strength of once again expecting
After months of immense sadness
And constant endeavor for happiness
With the help of inner self realization
And the fading feeling of self deprivation
I embraced what I got
As God has something else thought
And when the satisfaction started raising
I couldn't help to stop praising
The current gift in my hand
Had merits as many as dunes of sand
Sometimes we don't get
Something we expected
No doubt what we wanted
Was nothing but perfect
But we don't know
Where our boat of destiny can row
And we reach an island
To find the rarest diamond
Which we couldn't get otherwise
If we had not utilized
Our capacity to its fullest
And rather spent our days, the dullest
