My Story of Light and Darkness

Perceiving darkness as an alternate route to greater lightPhoto by Sean Sinclair on Unsplash

The black wolf of uncertainty snarls at me
Giving me a prelude to the never ending misery waiting for me
It gives me a treacherous smile everytime my plan fails
It comforts me with the discomfort of the unknown

Abondoned in the ocean of nowhere
The black wolf lashes at my every attempt to find a shore

The white wolf silently whispers at my ears — you’re being prepared for the best
Misery and unknown are only the state of mind
When your plan fails, know that the plan of universe is at work for something great
When your attempt to find a shore fails, know for sure that shore was harmful for you
For the universe has the best interest for you, even if you want to settle for anything but the best
We the mortal beings have our own finite knowledge to experience the feelings of life
When the circumstances fail to meet our self defined expectation we feel sad
But we fail to believe there is a higher energy at work for each one of us
And it has only the best interest for us

The harshness of the world may sometimes deplete our life force
Making us believe not to fall in love again
As the mere definition of love becomes unreal for our existence
What was one thought of as the most beautiful feeling of life
Turns out to be the unreal facet of mortal existence
All thanks to lessons learnt in life
The heart freezes like the winter snow

During cold winter days against all hope just as the sun rays bring unexpected warmth
The love that had once made the heart frozen has brought thin rays of hope

Out of nowhere the sun rays melt away the long frozen barren land of snow
And springs sprouts of life to fall in love again
The tiny leaves are shy to raise their heads after such a long fierce battle
But still they make an effort to gather courage and rise
And believe in love
The target which we had thought of as nearly impossible to achieve, now we feel greater enthusiasm and hope to give it another try

Again.
