Ascent

Now I want to rise even like

Raging dust, you may laugh

but who cares?

I've to cross the streams

To gather all my dreams

For they are scattered here and there

During the shadowy years

Of hail and snowflakes.

Now no time to shed tears

Nor lament over times gears

As the sun teaches to be warm

Time teaches to be cool and calm.

The way ahead is long with hope

With pitfalls,plains and slopes,

The stretches of fear and bending tide

May return in a hurry to sting and shock

But such fears are now behind me,

I shall march towards the glory of love.
