Before the effort defies e'ery toil in vain

Merge with resolve to emerge effectual again!

And, so forth, repeating pretty much the same!

Absolve in grit to include thyself in its name!

While invoking bravado to be no less than any other claim,

O self poised will, fetch faith upon life, yet to be more, deeply ingrained,

Perhaps, seeking same in the same; like only to master that spirit in aim!

And, by and by, time and again,

soughing deeper than previously attained;

Reaping miracles inexplicably ordained!

As an enigma re-pinned to the mortal strain, fusing soul with th’t nebulous mein🧠

Though an aperture to ascend the brain, much more to pursue and emerge again; out from where full grown comes to be explained !

In reaching the one ☝️ than one’s self c’d actually proclaim!

Believe!

Yes, a belief in that colossal…

As in that effect, persistence alongside endurance c’d be meaningfully sustained

O seminal muscle amplest in mein, Trance me so, and forever let me—thusly remain,

Retaining that gumption; much more to surpass that befitting

“Who am I, “ in this game.

O heavenly gliding liveliest rain! Formed and launched over verdant plains,

As divinity spreading over faint odors of the monsoon rain;

Awaken, awaken as fondest thrills,

like joyous appearing, all unchanged!

Of those clouds stationed upon these solemn plains

Forthwith sprinkling blessings all over the terrain

In such and forever so, I shall finally remain; much after me has fully attained

Thus pouring “drippity-drops,” all amongst those resplendent grains

Ever to spring out a desire for those wants to meet in exchange,

And thereby, furnishing needs to flourish very well again !

Ah! such delights await to be fully obtained

Amidst those mists as heavens encircle all around to reign

From: Ascertained!

About the Creator

Madhu Goteti

The thrums in the strums and the delights in the humdrum of life have always fascinated me.

It’s that feast of reason and flow of soul; in all that I see and all that I shall behold!

I am an avid lover of art and philosophy!
