It’s a constant struggle to remain calm
Among myriad reflections that threaten to intrude
The world so beautifully crafted
Glaring discrepancies initiate series of doubtful encounters
Speculating on every possible theory that defines
Through prohibitive masks of sundry characters
Increasingly jeopardising the delicate relationship
Inner sanctuary yearns to reconcile with true life
Possibility dwindles when cradled by distorted reflections
Time to focus and emerge with clarity
Without ego and expectations, only desire to experience
Pristine essence of life surrounded by divine light
Revive the sacred relationship between life and being
Without tarnishing the beautiful sentiments of paradise
Easy to remain in the abyss of contradictions and agonise
Purely a choice to let light shine through
Glorifying and purifying the entire realm of soul
Not a struggle anymore to communicate gratitude©
It is a choice to let light shine through, some days it’s difficult, but a choice nonetheless. Beautifully written Amitav!

Sometimes, or due to uncertain nature of life, making a choice is difficult and choices are made for us. It takes resilience to survive that situation and choose.

That’s true as well. Resilience is sometimes the only coping aid we can grasp. A good point.
