Endless been the  wait & patience put to test
All's within reach, but elusive stays the quest 

One with the difference, to scale a new peak
Defying detractors , & let my credence speak 

Simple, it may seem, but is intricate to ingest
Tenacity now wavers, even the will to contest 

Means are solemn, yet an end's still unknown 
I hope harvest is conducive to all earlier sown

All what one expects, gets served in contrast
Usurping the applecart, leaving utterly aghast

In just split of a second has the tables turned
Usually taken in stride, gets abruptly spurned

Own comforting environs get visibly torn apart
Pushing over the brink, to reinvent and restart

Hoping sun to shine, but pelts down with rain
Simplest of the chores, now one can't sustain

Just wh...

Caught in mundane trivalities in my environs secure
Something seems amiss, of which I am not so sure

No shackles tie me down, still can't seem to express 
Odd feeling at the nucleus, now difficult to suppress 

Endowed though sufficiently no concerns as of now
Need stoking stimulus, to find new trigger somehow

All familiar seems daunting, must try & explore anew
To bring a bit of sembl...

Bury the long dead past let bridges burn behind 

Bounty what life holds be cherished full in kind

Nothing stays forever in  rapid passing of time 

There still be choices to relive your lost prime.

At the end somewhere will be a beckoning light 

Ridding built up solitude to future  shining bright

To be one with elements

With expended all vigor and resources in despair

When embroiled in misery
