Turbulent Sea

~ thereluctantpoet

Valorous Bird

Made by Puja: My crime partner.

born to be fed on the platter of sufferings
and pain, a distressed female.

tossing and turning on the bed in darkness, hiding
the aching heart. Ignorance till when shall calm?

the turbulent sea never wanted a sea shore
full of sparkling shells. Engaging in discomfort, comfort never
gave her any credit.

laden with years of sweat, she learnt to build strong instincts
on which her trust was the only hope and freedom to be distinct.

The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.

Art of Quotation

“The question is not whether there is intelligent life out there, the question is, whether there is intelligent life down here. As long as you have war, police, prisons, crime, you are in the early stages of civilization.”

The rules of the game of life are quite simple. Always tell the truth. Never live in fear of anything or anyone. Be conscious of what you are thinking so you can always think positively. Do everything that you do for the love of doing it. If you devote yourself, your time and your energy to following these rules, have no doubt – you cannot lose!
