Scree

On your journey to the peak
screes are given,
the walk is precarious,
never mean to be easy,
there will be falls,
some down from the cliff
into an abyss,
there will be hopelessness,
dark tunnels,
endless nights
but if you keep the focus
and the hope alive
success can’t defy you

  1. As for me, a student, this poem is so motivating. It tells me that there will come roads with uneven planes but all I have to do is walk nevertheless.

    And, I wonder if you speak Hindi?

  2. So Lovely, very inspiring, and creative. This is a beautifully written motivated message reminding us to walk in hope.
